The Ruling on Swearing by the Life of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah send blessings upon him. Is it a lie or not to swear by the life of Allah?
Answer:
Swearing by the attributes of Allah is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and not shirk (associating partners with Allah). One swears by Allah, or by His names, or by His attributes, (Glorified and Exalted is He), by His life, by His face, by His speech, (Glorified and Exalted is He), by His Qur'anic verses. The hadith regarding the names and attributes of Allah is authentic; it is tawhid (the oneness of Allah). And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
