Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Some people have become accustomed to not believing anyone unless they swear to them by Allah. Is it, for example, permissible to say to them, "You have spoken the truth"?
The Shaykh:
If the need arises, there is no harm. The Prophet used to affirm the truth when the need arose.
The presenter:
May Allah suffice you.
The Shaykh:
If the need arises and it puts your brother’s mind at ease, there is no harm, but you are being truthful with him. Yes.
