Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q232: The questioner, S.S., a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom, says: What is the ruling on swearing by other than Allah?
A232: Swearing by other than Allah is forbidden, and it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1711. However, it is minor shirk. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 3249Sahih (Al-Albani) So it is forbidden, and it is a type of shirk. And the Muslim must leave off swearing by other than Allah.
A232: Swearing by other than Allah is forbidden, and it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who swears by anyone or anything other than Allah, has indeed committed an act of Kufr or Shirk
من حلف بغير الله، فقد كفر أو أشركAllah forbids you to swear by forefathers. If anyone swears, he must swear by Allah or keep silence.
إن الله ينهاكم أن تحلفوا بآبائكم، فمن كان حالفاً فليحلف بالله أو ليسكت
