Question:
After this, a message reached the program from one of the listening brothers who preferred not to have his name mentioned. He asks a collection of questions, one of which says: If a person swears that he does not own a certain thing, denying it, is he sinful?
Answer:
If a person swears based on his predominant belief, and he did not intend to lie, and then the matter turns out to be the opposite of what he swore to, there is no blame on him for that, because this is considered a vain oath. Allah the Exalted says, accompanying you[Al-Baqarah 2:225], so he will not be punished for the grain.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
