What is the ruling on the oath (yamin al-ghamūs) that I swore in the khulʿ case, after the judge asked me to swear that I had not received an amount of 43,000 as mahr and 15,000 for gold ornaments, knowing that I received the amount for furnishing the house and not as mahr, and the gold ornaments were a wedding gift (shabaka)? Also, I was unable to prove my ownership of movables worth 35,000 that are in his possession. Is this oath considered an appropriation of someone's right or a دفعًا لضرر (repelling of harm)?
If the questioner finds no other way to ward off harm and injustice from herself than this قسم (oath), then there is no blame in her taking this oath.
