Oath on a false matter to repel injustice from land
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have a piece of land, and there are people who want to take this land from me unjustly. If the situation requires me to swear an oath on a matter that is false, is this permissible?
Answer:
Allah said. This is a very serious issue. If you are one hundred percent in the right, you have the option of ta'wil (figurative interpretation); you may resort to ta'wil. But if you do not know or are in doubt, your honor is more binding.
