Does reading a written oath make the reader an oathtaker, thereby obligating them to uphold it, and does this apply to oaths that schools and camps compel us to repeat?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The story of the written oath or swearing in camps and anthems is not considered an oath, and nothing is entailed by it, unless its pronouncer intended it as an oath. In that case, it becomes a binding oath that necessitates expiation upon breaking it.
