Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on swearing and supplicating by the Face of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with swearing by the Face of Allah. Swearing by the essential attributes of Allah, or the conceptual attributes of Allah, or the speech of Allah, or the life of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so swearing by Allah or by His names and attributes is permissible. Because the names of Allah and His attributes are exclusive to His essence, Glorified and Exalted is He. And.
Supplicating by them, yes, supplicating by the names and attributes of Allah is prescribed[Al-A'raf 7:180] So you say, O Merciful, have mercy on me; O Generous, be generous to me; O Forgiver, forgive me; O Allah, forgive me, for You are the One who accepts repentance, the Merciful. One supplicates to Allah by His names and attributes; this is prescribed. It is seeking nearness to Allah through His names and attributes, and it is guaranteed to be answered. I supplicate to Him by them. Yes.
