Question:
He says: I work in a car market, and it happens that people swear oaths without right. What is the ruling on my working with people I know who deceive people?
Answer:
Swearing by other than Allah is not permissible, neither from you nor from them. Swearing by other than Allah is disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah), as in the hadith. You must avoid swearing by other than Allah and you must forbid others from it. As for deception and lying, these are major sins, major sins, and consuming the wealth of people unjustly. So you must advise them and compel them to be truthful. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

من غشناAre we not among them?
أليس منا؟
