In the light of the Quran and Sunnah
An affidavit is a statement made with Allah as witness. The Quran commands avoiding false testimony (Al-Hajj 22:30; Al-Furqan 25:72) and giving true testimony for justice "even if it be against yourselves" (An-Nisa 4:135).
A false affidavit is therefore both a sin and a crime (Pakistan Penal Code sections 191–193).
