An oath on a non-Jewish religious text

Hi,

We are not permitted to cause others to invoke their non-Jewish gods. Nonetheless, one is permitted to sue a non-Jew to recover that which has been unjustly taken from him, even though the defendant will take an oath in the name of his deity.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Yoreh Deah 1:71)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
