The Ruling on Promoting Goods with False Oaths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner for the program who sent this message, containing a set of questions. Muhammad al-Tayyib al-Sudani says in this question: What is the ruling on one who swears by divorce in buying and selling, knowing that he is lying, in order to promote his goods?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The ruling is that he is a sinner, unjust to himself, and disobedient, whether he swears by divorce, or by an oath by Allah, or otherwise, and he is lying and has betrayed the trust. It is obligatory for him to repent to Allah from that, for lying is forbidden in buying and selling, even if he does not pronounce divorce, and even if he does not swear. If he confirms it with an oath and divorce, it becomes more severe in sin. We seek refuge in Allah.
It is obligatory for him to repent to Allah from that, and to beware of returning to this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the two sellers:Sahih al-Bukhari 2079 And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.

It is obligatory for him to repent to Allah from that, and to beware of returning to this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the two sellers:
and if both the parties spoke the truth and described the defects and qualities (of the goods), then they would be blessed in their transaction, and if they told lies or hid something, then the blessings of their transaction would be lost.
إن صدقا وبينا بورك لهما في بيعهما، وإن كتما وكذبا محقت بركة بيعهماThree [types of people] whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection, nor look at them, nor purify them, and for them is a painful punishment—and among them is mentioned—the man who sells goods after the afternoon prayer and says, “I will be given such and such for it,” while he is lying.
ثلاث لا يكلمهم الله، ولا ينظر إليهم يوم القيامة، ولا يزكيهم، ولهم عذاب أليم -وذكر منهم- الرجل يبيع السلعة بعد العصر، ويقول: أعطي بها كذا وكذا، وهو كاذبThe presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
