Taking a false oath
Question
If I stated a false oath on Quran, for example I say that I swear in the name of Quran that this thing hasn't happened etc. and that because of some complication between husband and wife, to secure their relation is that allowed in Islam? Kindly guide me because I did this to secure a relationship by saying a false oath. Was that wrong or right?
Answer
Taking a false oath on the Quraan is a major sin. You should sincerely repent to Allah Tala for comiting this grave sin and make a firm resolve that you will never repeat this sin in the future.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
