Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: Iman (faith) or amanah (trust) are matters obligated by Allah. There is no meaning in swearing an oath by them; therefore, it is impermissible. However, according to Imam Shafi‘i rahimahullah, there is no expiation (kaffarah) for this.
