Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I did a favor for a person, and he said to me, "When you come to our area, it is a trust, and I charge you with a trust, to pass by me and come to me." I am going to this area. Is it obligatory for me to pass by him based on his saying, "It is a trust, and I charge you with a trust"?
Answer:
Swearing an oath is not permissible. Swearing by a trust is not permissible. He swore to you by a trust and repeated that you would pass by; that is not permissible. Advise him. He said: This is not permissible. This is an oath by a trust. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3253Sahih (Al-Albani)

من حلف بالأمانة فليس منا.
