Taking false oaths in one's childhood
Question
I have taken false oaths on the Quraan in my childhood in an irresponsible way. I was not mature that time.
Answer
The oath taken in childhood is not binding. Hence, you will not be taken to account for the oath you took before you became baaligh.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
