The False Oath for the Sake of Reconciliation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Nurah (may Allah preserve you) from Jeddah says: What is the ruling on one who swears by Allah while knowing that he is not being truthful, and he does so in order to reconcile between a husband and his wife?
Answer:
This is lying by oath, and it is not permissible to swear an oath while being a liar. Reconciliation is not achieved through an oath. One can reconcile between them with kind words. Even lying, if it is for the sake of reconciliation, is lying, but without an oath. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
