A man was accused of theft and swore before trustworthy brothers that he did not steal; is he required to swear again?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What is the second part?
The questioner : Did he mention it more than once, more than three brothers, meaning men of religion, if Allah wills? If he swore more than once by Allah while lying, what is the ruling? Do we make him swear again, as he is still accused of theft?
The Shaykh : No, that is the end of the matter. Do not help him to increase in misguidance by making him swear by Allah while lying.
And peace be upon you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
