The ruling on accepting an oath when it is more likely than not that the one swearing is lying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever is sworn to by Allah should be satisfied, and whoever is not satisfied is not of Allah. The question is: if the one to whom the oath is sworn is more likely than not that the one swearing is lying, or if he is known for lying, is he obligated to be satisfied when he swears to him?
Answer:
This is if it is before the judge; then you are obligated.
The presenter:
You have nothing but the oath, may Allah preserve this or leave it, say what he swore to and how he swore, but if you request the oath from him, then you are obligated to accept it.
