The Ruling on Saying "Bi al-'Awn"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some people say that the phrase "bi al-'Awn" is an oath by other than Allah, while others say otherwise. What is the correct view on this?
Answer:
Al-'Awn is said to be an idol. "Bi al-'Awn" means "by al-'Awn," with the preposition "bi" indicating an oath. However, if one does not intend to make an oath, and it is merely a phrase that slips off the tongue, it is considered idle talk (laghw) and is not taken into account.
