Oaths by other than Allah and Excusing Oneself with Habit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people consider it a minor matter to swear by other than Allah, the Exalted, such as swearing by their father, and they excuse themselves by saying they grew up doing this since childhood. He asks: What is the guidance in this matter?
Answer:
The guidance is that he should repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. He should not say, "I grew up with this and I am accustomed to it." No, my brother, repent to Allah and leave it, and Allah will help you to leave it.
