Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on swearing by the mushaf, or by the words of Allah, or by the life of Allah?
Answer:
Whatever is permissible regarding the life of Allah is permissible. The life of Allah is one of His attributes, and the words of Allah are one of His attributes; there is nothing wrong with that. As for the mushaf, it may contain the Qur'an, but it also contains the leather, the paper, and the ink; these are created things.
