The Ruling on Frequently Swearing by Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it prescribed to swear frequently, or should one refrain from swearing except in great matters?
Answer:
One should not swear frequently. ﴿And do not obey every oath-taker who is a sinner﴾, meaning one who swears often. In the hadith, it is said: “Three people whom Allah will not speak to, nor purify, and for whom there is a painful punishment,” among them is “a man who made his merchandise his trade, selling nothing but with an oath and buying nothing but with an oath.”
