Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the one who says "For the sake of Allah's face" making an oath by other than Allah?
Answer:
It is not permissible. This is not an oath. This is intercession; you have made Allah's face an intercessor with the created being. You have made Allah a means between you and the created being. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was angered by the man who said, "We seek intercession with Allah against you," because the one with whom intercession is sought is greater than the one who intercedes. Yes.
