What is the ruling on a thoughtless oath?
Answer:
One who swears by Allah unintentionally and isn`t determined to fulfill his oath, nothing is due on him. Allah, The Almighty, says:” God will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts; and He is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.”{Al-Baqarah/225}. However, it is dispraised for a Muslim to swear frequently.
