The Ruling on Accepting an Oath When There Is Knowledge of Lying

Question:
And the Shaykh said regarding the hadith Who raises it and who does not raise it to Him, only Allah knows, but if it is a need known to Allah, does it benefit, and its recompense is only

Answer:
Yes, even if he is known for lying, as long as he swears by Allah, as long as he has sworn by Allah, you must revere the oath by Allah, because this is exalting Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for his statement that he is a liar, his account is with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The apparent meaning of the hadith is general, even if he is known for lying; his sin is upon him, but you take the aspect that is the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), which is His exaltation (Exalted and Majestic is He).
And the hadith, in its apparent meaning, is reported in the context of disputes. It is narrated from the Shaykh Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said it is in disputes, meaning if a person claims against another person and he has no proof, then the claimant has nothing but the oath, upon the one against whom the claim is made. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said So it is obligatory for the claimant to be satisfied with this, because it is the ruling of Allah and His Messenger, and he is satisfied with this. And if he finds proof afterwards, he presents it.
