Question
what is in case of taking swear on mother,, and then breaking it? plz guide me what should i do?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is haraam (forbidden) to take an oath in the name of other than Allah, such as ones mother. Therefore, the oath is not valid. You should do istighfaar and tauba (repentance).
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
Wassalaamu `alaykum
