Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a man lies under oath to his wife for a benefit, is this lying under oath permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible to swear. Use words without an oath. Swearing involves diminishing Allah the Mighty and Majestic if you swear by Him while lying. This is a diminishment of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He.
