Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he prohibited swearing by other than Allah. He asks: How is the fact reconciled that it is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSunan Abi Dawud 3252?
Answer:
It is not reconciled by two things except that this was before the prohibition. In the early days of Islam, they used to swear by this, and then they were prohibited from doing so. So this is understood to have been before the prohibition, or it slipped from the tongue without intention; it slipped from the tongue without intention. Yes.
