The answer

Swearing in sales is reprehensible if the one doing it is truthful, and unlawful if he is a liar; because of the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Swearing makes a commodity marketable, but it deprives it of blessing." Buying from a seller who swears is permissible, but if a seller who does not swear is found, it is better to buy from him as a deterrent to the swearing seller.
