The Ruling on Oaths in Lawsuits
My uncle assaulted my brother, and the state has granted him a sum of money as compensation, on the condition that he swears he did not assault my uncle. Is it permissible for him to swear in order to receive the compensation?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: If he has not truly become accustomed to it, he is permitted to swear, and God knows best.
