Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
In the mentioned case, if there is doubt about the very existence of the oath—whether it was made in the name of God or otherwise—then there is no obligation on you. However, if the doubt is about the validity of the oath after it has been pronounced and all other legal conditions have been met, you should assume it is valid and act accordingly.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If there is doubt about its existence, the default is non-existence, but if there is doubt about its validity, you should assume it is valid.
