Question:
If a man says to his companion, “If Allah wills, I will do such-and-such,” then deep down in his heart, he has not done it.
Answer:
This is not an oath. “If Allah wills, I will do such-and-such” is a promise. This falls under the category of a promise, not an oath. And he has conditioned it on Allah’s will, so he owes nothing in this matter. Yes.
