The Hamzah: Is it one of the letters of oath?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is the hamzah considered one of the letters of oath, as in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 2701?
The Shaykh:
No, my brother. This is based on the intention of the waw. "Allaha" means "By Allah," and it is interrogative. He is asking them, asking them a question, and the waw is implied. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: In matters other than Hajj.
The Shaykh:
If he said, "Allah, Allah, if you enter my house, it is valid, because the waw is implied. The evidence is that the name of Allah is in the genitive case. So the letters are three, and there is no hamzah among them: it is the waw, the taw, or the ba. "By Allah," "By Allah," "By Allah." "By Allah, give me such and such." "By Allah," this is an oath. Yes.
