Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of the one who breaks the oath of the one who swore upon him, and says: This is part of exalting Allah, so that he does not be lax in oaths?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. This is incorrect speech. This is incorrect, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the fulfillment of the oath of the one who swore, as a way of exalting Allah (Mighty and Majestic) who you swore by, except if fulfilling it would cause you greater harm, or if he asked you for something that is not permissible; in that case, you do not respond to him. Yes.
