Oath vs. Promise: What’s the Difference?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: What is the difference between oath and promise? If anyone puts his hand on the Quran and says this is my promise to Quran that I will not do this work again, it will be considered a promise or an oath?

Bismillaah

A: It will be regarded as a promise.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
