Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question, O Abu Hamd. The second question. A father or mother repeatedly says to their child, “By Allah, you will do such and such, or you will not do such and such.” Does this count as an oath for them, or does it not count?
Answer:
This is an idle oath.[Al-Baqarah 2:225] If one says, “No, by Allah,” or “Yes, by Allah,” without intending to make an oath, then there is no sin on him. This is an idle oath. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
