Respecting the oaths and holding the self

Q: One day while I was in a gathering, I swore by Allah three times that some people (i meant some people in the world) love money more than the Shahadah (Testimony of Faith). Did I make a false oath? If yes, which Kaffarah (expiation) must I offer?

A: If the reality is as you mentioned that you meant by "some people" some people in the world, you did not make a false oath. Most people are Mushriks (those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity or worship) who refuse to say there is no god but Allah, and some are atheists who deny Allah's existence. However, it is not a good thing to say this, and you should not make such an oath as long as there is no necessity for it. You have to be careful regarding your oaths and you must control your tongue. (Part No. 23; Page No. 59) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
