Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. One of the sisters says: Some people, or some women and men, have an oath that slips from their tongue without intention. Is it considered an oath, or does it fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:225]?
Answer:
For an oath to be binding, it must be intentional; one must intend to make it. One must intend to make it. If it slips from his tongue without the intention of swearing, it is of no account, and it is among the casual oaths. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:225] It is mentioned in the exegesis that this refers to a man saying "No, by Allah" or "Yes, by Allah" in the course of his speech while not intending to swear an oath. There is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
