Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to swear by these: the Qur'an, the Book, the verses of the Qur'an, the surahs of the Qur'an, and Surat al-Baqarah? Is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes, this is swearing by the speech of Allah the Exalted. Whether you say "the Qur'an" or "such-and-such a surah" or "such-and-such a verse," it is all the speech of Allah the Exalted, and it is permissible. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 54:35 He said: "I seek refuge in the words of Mishkat al-Masabih 2422 that." So if seeking refuge in the words of Allah is permissible, then swearing by them is permissible; because it is swearing by an attribute of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
