The Ruling on Making an Exception in an Oath Other Than with “If Allah Wills”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to make an exception in an oath other than with “If Allah wills,”For example: such as “By Allah’s permission” or “With Allah’s help”?
Yes, it is permissible. “By Allah’s permission” is like “By Allah’s will.” However, “With Allah’s help” also appears to be a delegation of the matter to Allah (Mighty and Majestic),And if it is less than the speaker saying: whether it is “By Allah’s will” or “If Allah wills,”It is better for the person to make an exception by saying: “If Allah wills” or “By Allah’s will.” As for “With Allah’s help,” it may imply delegating the matter to Allah, or it may imply that the person is certain but is asking Allah for help.And for this reason we say: The exception with these phrases is weak, and if a person breaks his oath with such an expression, the precaution is to make expiation for his oath.
