The Ruling on Excessive Swearing When Speaking with People

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I observe that many people swear a lot when they speak. So what do you advise people to do? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
We advise all our brothers and sisters, men and women, to be cautious of excessive swearing and to reduce their swearing, because Allah the Exalted says:
And keep your oathsوَاحْفَظُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah: 89], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are three to whom Allah will not speak and at whom He will not look on the Day of Resurrection, and whom He will not declare pure, and they will have a painful punishment.ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله، ولا ينظر إليهم يوم القيامة، ولا يزكيهم، ولهم عذاب أليم
Sunan Abi Dawud 4087Sahih (Al-Albani)
Among them he mentioned:
A man who made his trade such that he does not sell except with an oath, and does not buy except with an oathرجل جعل الله بضاعته، لا يبيع إلا بيمينه، ولا يشتري إلا بيمينه
.
The point is: the advice to abandon excessive swearing, and not to swear except when there is a need for an oath; because excessive swearing is a means to lying, and a means to not paying the expiation for the oaths in which one breaks them. So we advise everyone, men and women, to reduce their oaths, and not to swear except when there is a need. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
