Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success
Answer:
What is the ruling on swearing oaths and taking vows by the signs of Allah? If he means the recited verses, there is no harm, because they are the speech of Allah. But if he means the cosmic signs, this is not permissible, because he is swearing by other than Allah. He is swearing by the mountains, and the mountains are among the signs of Allah. The sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah; they are created, so one does not swear by a created thing. Yes.
