The Ruling on Swearing by the Phrase "Your Brother in Allah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to swear by this phrase, "Your brother in Allah"?

Answer:
It is not permissible to do this, as
Whoever has to take an oath should swear by Allah or remain silentكان حالفا فليحلف بالله أو ليصمت
Sahih al-Bukhari 2679
. Yes. This brotherhood is a human action; it is a human action, not one of the names or attributes of Allah. Rather, it is among the actions of people, brotherhood among them, so one does not swear by it.
