And by Allah, we have heard this from them, and we do not deny them, woe to the one who spreads slander (Taking an oath when there is a need for it is permissible, even if the oath is not requested, with an example)

The Shaykh :"And by Allah, we have heard this from them, and we do not deny them, woe to the one who spreads slander"
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) takes an oath without being asked to do so, because the situation is one that requires careful attention, and taking an oath when there is a need for it is permissible, even if the person is not asked to take an oath. Allah the Exalted said: And if that is the case, there is no blame on a person for taking an oath by Allah (Mighty and Majestic) regarding any matter, even if he is not asked to do so, provided the situation is of importance.
