The Ruling on Exception in Oath
If you swear an oath and say 'If God wills,' even if your companion does not hear it, because when you say 'If God wills,' God facilitates the matter for you, and if what you want does not happen, there is no expiation upon you, is this statement correct?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: In exception, there must be connection and pronunciation; otherwise, it is not considered. In the case you mentioned, the exception is not considered, and God knows best.
