Swearing by the Qur'an that he did not do something, while knowing that he did it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 17393 )
Q1: A man swore by the Noble Qur'an, placing his hand on it and saying: "By the Noble Qur'an, I did not do such-and-such," and he did do that thing. What is the ruling on swearing an oath by the Noble Qur'an, and what is the expiation for swearing an oath by the Noble Qur'an?
A1: One who swears that he did not do something while knowing that he did it commits a great sin, and he must repent to Allah and not return to such an action. As for swearing by the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with it, because it is the speech of Allah, so swearing by it is swearing by an attribute of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
