I swore on the mushaf and I was lying in my oath, so what should I do?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I swore on the mushaf, and I was lying in my oath, so what should I do?

Answer:
First of all, swearing on the mushaf is a matter with no basis. This was an innovation introduced by the common people; they swear on the mushaf. As for lying, if one intentionally lies in an oath, Allah will hold him accountable for it because of his disrespect for the oath and for the name of Allah by which he swore. Yes.
