Question:
Your Eminence! Some people use oaths excessively. How do you guide them, O Shaykh?

It is obligatory for the believer to guard his tongue and to strive to reduce his oaths. Our Lord says: [Al-Ma'idah: 89], and in the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 2208Sahih (Darussalam) meaning: an old man, meaning an elderly man, who commits fornication meaning: a poor man who is arrogant - The believer should guard his oath and not speak except with certainty, and not swear except with certainty; so that he does not fall into lying. We ask Allah for safety and well-being. Yes.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you.
