The ruling on swearing by other than Allah

Question:
And the same applies to those who say, "Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, swore by what He created," such as the sun and the dawn. On this basis, it is permissible for a father to swear by what Allah created.

Answer:
That is, imitating Allah by making yourself resemble Him is from taking a rival for Allah. Allah swore by whatever of His creation He willed, but it is not permissible for you to swear except by what Allah has prescribed. Allah has prescribed for you to swear by Allah or by one of His attributes, and He has forbidden you to swear by other than Allah, Mighty and Majestic. You are a servant who is commanded; not everything attributed to Allah is for you to do. This is specific to Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He. He, Exalted and Majestic is He, does whatever He wills, and you are commanded to do only what you have been ordered to do, and as for what you have been forbidden, you leave it. You have been forbidden to swear by other than Allah, so you must comply.
