Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: I heard one of the brothers swear and say, "By Allah and Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." I rebuked him, saying that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Is my rebuke of him correct? What is the ruling? He says: May Allah reward you. I heard one of the brothers swear and say, "By Allah and Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." I rebuked him, saying that this is shirk. Is my rebuke correct?
Answer:
If he says, "By Allah and Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah," swearing by Allah and by Muhammad, this is shirk. This is shirk. But if he says, "By Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," this is an affirmation. He affirms the messengership of Muhammad and swears to it. This is fine. This is fine. Yes.
