Breaking an oath by the mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 7459 )
Q1: A man was in need of a small amount of money and could not find anyone to give him this amount, so he took the amount from his cousin’s son and swore to him by the mushaf that he would repay this amount on a specific day, but he did not keep the promise
and did not repay the amount on its due date because he was unable to do so, and time passed and he has not repaid the amount to this day.
A1: There is no blame on him, and there is no sin in breaking the promise and not repaying on the due date if it is established that he is unable to repay, but he is obligated to pay the expiation for an oath for breaking his oath by the mushaf. The expiation is: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a believing slave. If he cannot do that, he must fast for three days, and it is better if they are consecutive. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
