Haram Speech & character

Is swearing a false oath haram?

Short answer

Yes. The Quran warns against breaking oaths after making them firm (16:91), and warns those who sell Allah's covenant and their oaths for a small price (3:77). Swearing by Allah on a lie, in order to take money or a right, is a major sin.

Evidence

Quran

وَأَوْفُوا۟ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَٰهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُوا۟ ٱلْأَيْمَٰنَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٩١﴾

Soyez fidèles au pacte d'Allah après l'avoir contracté et ne violez pas vos serments après les avoir solennellement prêtés et avoir pris Allah comme garant [de votre bonne foi]. Vraiment Allah sait ce que vous faites!

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَيْمَٰنِهِمْ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًا أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَا خَلَٰقَ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ﴿٧٧﴾

Ceux qui vendent à vil prix leur engagement avec Allah ainsi que leurs serments n'auront aucune part dans l'au-delà, et Allah ne leur parlera pas, ni les regardera, au Jour de la Résurrection, ni ne les purifiera; et ils auront un châtiment douloureux.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
