Question
Will signing to follow the rules of a an institute be regarded as an oath? If one does not follow out of negligence will they be sinful?
Answer
It is a promise, and honouring a promise is very much emphasised.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
