Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Given the weakness of faith in many people in this time, what is the ruling on accepting an oath, especially regarding the statement that one who is sworn to by Allah should be satisfied? Is there a sin in not accepting the oath after it has been taken?
Answer:
"One who is sworn to by Allah should be satisfied." They said this applies before a judge when the plaintiff has no evidence; in that case, he has the right to take an oath regarding his claim. So if the oath is taken, he should be satisfied with it. This is in the context of litigation.
