Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the one who says, “I ask you by the right of the words of the Qur’an” or “by the right of the Qur’an”?
Answer:
The Qur’an is among the attributes of Allah, for it is the speech of Allah the Exalted. But do not say “by the right of”; rather, ask Allah by the Qur’an, by the speech of Allah the Exalted, seeking nearness to Allah. I mean, as far as Allah is concerned, one seeks nearness to Allah by His names and attributes. But if you say to a created being, “I ask you by the speech of Allah,” this is an oath. This is considered an oath, not seeking nearness. This is considered swearing; you swore by one of the attributes of Allah. Yes.
