Submitting A False Affidavit
Undoubtedly the person who submitted a false affidavit under oath has done something which is a major sin, namely giving false testimony or bearing false witness, especially since it has caused the loss of rights of other people. However, there is no such thing that a loss will definitely ensue to the person committing such a sin within fourty days. It is narrated on the authority of Abdur-Rahman b. Abu Bakra that his father said: “ We were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he observed: Should I not inform you about the most grievous of the grave sins? (The Holy Prophet) repeated it three times, and then said: Associating anyone with Allah, disobedience to parents, false testimony or false utterance. The Prophet was reclining, then he sat up, and he repeated it so many times that we wished that he should become silent “.
