Question:
A long letter was sent by the caller: Ahmad Muhammad Ahmad. The summary of what is in this letter is that he intended to perform the obligatory Hajj, and when he was coming to the sacred lands, the competent authorities stopped him and asked him some questions, so he swore an oath that he was the eldest of his brothers, which is not the case. What is the ruling on what he did? And what do you advise him? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
He must seek forgiveness; because this is a false, grave oath, so he must repent to Allah from that, repenting from this oath. His Hajj is valid, and praise be to Allah, but it is deficient regarding the false oath. If he repents, Allah will accept his repentance and make up for his deficiency. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Do you advise him to do anything else, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: He does not have to pay the expiation; rather, he must repent to Allah, because this is called the grave oath, which is the false oath, so he must repent to Allah in it . Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
