‎طفل حلف بالله كاذبا - الشيخ صالح اللحيدان A Child Swore by Allah While Lying- Sheikh Sālih Al-Luhaydān https://youtu.be/uEW3KYv7GtA?feature=shared [السؤال:] ‎أخونا يقول طفل حلف بالله كاذبا The questioner says a child swore by Allah while lying, ‎فماذا يلزمه؟ so what must he do? [الجواب:] ‎أما طفل، فالطفل الذي لم يبلغ سن التكليف As for a child, then the child that has not reached the age of Takleef (age when Islamic rules become binding) ‎فلا شيء عليه إلا انه ينبغي للوالدين has nothing upon him. However, what is befitting for the parents, ‎والمعلمين ولمن له إشراف على الناشئة teachers, and anyone who supervises the youth ‎أن يعودهم على الصدق فإن الصدق إذا ألفه is to acquaint them with honesty. For indeed, if the youth is accustomed to honesty ‎الناشئ وسار عليه ألف الصدق وأحبه and treads upon it, he will endear honesty and love it. ‎ومعروف الحديث الصحيح يقول عليه الصلاة والسلام And the authentic Hadith is well-known, where the Prophet ﷺ says: ‎إياكم والكذب فإن الكذب يهدي إلى الفجور ((Beware of lying! Indeed lying leads to wickedness, ‎والفجور يهدي إلى النار وإن الرجل ليكذب and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. Indeed a man will lie, ‎ويتحرى الكذب حتى يكتب عند الله كذابا and make lies his objective until he is written as a liar before Allah)) [Bukhari and Muslim] ‎فالحذر الحذر من الكذب ولما رأى النبي So be extremely cautious from lying! Also, when the Prophet ﷺ ‎صلى الله عليه وسلم امرأة تقول لولدها تعال أعطيك saw a woman saying to her son: “Come and I will give you (something)!” ‎قال ما كنت معطيته؟ قالت التمر قال إنك لو لم He ﷺ said: “What were you to give to him?” She said: “Dates:” He ﷺ said: “Indeed, if you hadn’t ‎تفعلي لكتبت عليك كذبة ويروى أن أحد أئمة السلف given him, it would be written against you as a lie.” Likewise, it is reported one of the Imams of the Salaf, ‎ذهب ليروي عن شيخ من العلماء went to narrate from a Sheikh from the scholars, ‎‎فرأى ذلك الشيخ ينادي دابته يدعوها so he saw that Sheikh calling his (riding) animal ‎كأن في يده شيء وليس في يده شيء فانصرف as if there was something in his hand, and there was nothing in his hand. So the student left off ‎ذلك الطالب عن تلقي من ذلك العالم seeking knowledge from that scholar. ‎وقال من استحل أن يكذب على البغلة أخشى أن يستحل الكذب علي And he said: “Whosoever permits himself to lie to a mule, I fear he will permit himself to lie to me.” ‎والله المستعان And Allah’s aid is sought.
