The Ruling on Swearing by Trust
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The last question is: What is the ruling on swearing by trust, or on trust being with you, or on trust being with you? And is that considered minor shirk? Thank you.
The Shaykh:
If he means swearing by trust, it is haram (forbidden) and shirk (associating partners with Allah), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade swearing by trust. But if he says, “This is a trust with you, keep it,” that is not an oath; that is not an oath. Take this with you as a trust, or “I am telling you this secret, keep it as a trust with you,” or “This thing is in your care and you are carrying it,” that does not fall under what is forbidden. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may Allah pray upon our Prophet Muhammad, and bless him and grant him peace.
The Shaykh:
Allah.
