The ruling on swearing by Allah to drop one of the limits of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the oath of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib to be understood when he swore by Allah that his sister's hand would not be cut off, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that her hand not be cut off? In that, there is an oath by Allah to drop one of the limits of Allah?
Answer:
I do not know that al-Bara' ibn 'Azib did this; I do not know, and I do not think it would come from him. May Allah protect al-Bara' ibn 'Azib from preventing one of the limits of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
