The judge requesting wudu' and prayer before the oath

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some judges, when an oath is required, if a person wants to swear, the judge asks him to perform wudu', then pray, then admonishes him, and then allows him to swear. Is this found in Islamic jurisprudence?

Answer:
We do not intervene in judicial matters. If you have a problem, go to the Ministry of Justice.
