Secretly Say ‘In Sha Allah’ After you Make an Oath, it Will Help You – Shaykh Muhammad al-Uthaymin | Trans. by DuSunnah

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Uthaymīn:

I will also point out for you an important issue. When you take an oath, say after it – In shā   Allah [ if Allah ﷻ  wills ], even  if your friend doesn’t hear you because if you do say  In shā   Allah, Allah will ease the affair for you  to fulfil your oath, and  if He [Allah ﷻ ] wills that [your oath] doesn’t take place, then there is no expiation on you.

And this is a great benefit! So if you – for example say to someone,  ‘By Allah you shall not slaughter  for me, and then you  say silently [ In shā   Allah ], thereafter  he slaughters for you , then  there’s no blame  on you , nor is there an expiation of an oath on you. Likewise the opposite, if you say, ‘By Allah ﷻ I shall slaughter…’ then you say silently  [ In shā   Allah ] and the listener doesn’t hear you, then if you don’t slaughter there is no expiation on you. Due  to the statement  of the Prophet  ﷺ “Whoever swears about an oath and says: ‘If Allah wills [ In shā   Allah ], then there is no breaking  of the oath against him.” (refer to al-Tirmidhī], this is a great  benefit, so always keep it [ In shā   Allah ] on your tongue in order that  you gain two benefits:

First Benefit: So that your affairs  are be made easy for you.

Second benefit: That if you break your oath, then there is no expiation  on you.
