Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Badr from Riyadh. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.
The Shaykh:
And upon you, peace. Good evening, Shaykh. May Allah welcome you. Please, please, Badr.
The questioner:
What is the ruling on the one who swears an oath and says, "It is haram (forbidden) upon me"?
The Shaykh:
It depends on his intention, my brother. What does he mean by "haram"? Is he referring to his wife? Does he mean forbidding what is lawful?
The questioner:
A female friend.
The Shaykh:
Yes, what is his intention regarding this "haram"? What is it that is haram for him? It is according to his intention.
The questioner:
Even if he is weighing it out, or something like that.
The Shaykh:
My brother, he should seek a fatwa. He should come to the Ifta' office in Riyadh, or he should ask the judge in the court. He should ask about his intention and what he meant. Yes.
