The question

What is the ruling on someone who says, "It is forbidden for me," without intending it as an oath? Is it considered an oath even though the name of Allah or one of His attributes was not mentioned? And is it considered an oath if the sentence is completed?

The answer

We advise you not to surrender to the whisperings of Satan, and to repel them by completely disregarding them and not paying them any attention, while relying on Allah and repenting to Him. What you uttered is not considered a complete statement from which an intention to forbid a specific matter can be understood. It appears that it entails nothing, even according to those who consider forbidding what is lawful to be an oath.
