Repentance from one who swore by Allah falsely
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man swore by Allah while lying, then he repented. Is it obligatory for him to clarify this matter to the people?
Answer:
If he swore before the judge, and he was lying, then he repented, he must inform the judge, because the judge ruled based on his oath. The judge ruled based on his oath, so he must clarify to him that he was lying and that his oath is not to be relied upon until the judge annuls his ruling. Yes.
