The Ruling on Swearing by Bread
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: He says that in their country, people swear by bread. We have advised them repeatedly, but they have become accustomed to it. Do they become disbelievers because of this?
Answer:
They are Muslims. The ones you are describing are Muslims who swear by bread. If that is the case, this is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah). Swearing by bread is minor shirk. Explain this to them and forbid them from doing it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
