Verbally taking an oath

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: Is a verbal utterance necessary for an oath to be valid or will an oath be formed if a firm intention is made in the heart without saying it loudly with the mouth and tongue?

Bismillaah

A: A verbal utterance is a condition.

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