Is a disbeliever required to take an oath in financial rights?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. If the defendant is a disbeliever, does he take an oath or not? He takes an oath, he takes an oath, he takes an oath, he takes an oath, he takes an oath, and it does not matter.
The Shaykh : These are human financial rights, human rights in which people are equal. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Banu Sahl when they claimed against the Jews of Khaybar that they had killed their companion: "The Jews will clear you with fifty oaths." So he established that their oath is exculpatory. Thus, in the rights of human beings, there is no distinction between the believer and the disbeliever. Yes.
