Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What Allah wills for you, and whoever says, "I vow to obey," if the intention is to encourage, to prevent, to affirm, or to deny, it has the ruling of a true oath. It is a true oath upon you.
The Shaykh:
That is, there is no harm if it is a distant need, not ordinary.
The questioner:
Its ruling is the ruling of an oath.
The Shaykh:
If he says, "If I speak to so-and-so, this is a hundred for its sale, and ten for its purchase, I will be the most extreme with it." Yes.
The questioner:
There is not.
The Shaykh:
Be patient.
The questioner:
Even if it is.
The Shaykh:
The prevention and the speech. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah make it good. The hadith is worded as "and his believing brother."
The Shaykh:
Or if he speaks to so-and-so, or if he travels, he must perform Hajj, then silence is upon himself. Yes.
