The Difference Between Saying "By the Lord of the Ka'bah" and Saying "By the Ka'bah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Swearing by other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such as saying "By the Lord of the Ka'bah," or saying "By my oath," or something of that sort, what is the ruling on that?

Answer:
Saying "By the Lord of the Ka'bah" is permissible, because it is swearing by Allah, for Allah is the Lord of the Ka'bah. But if he says "By the Ka'bah" or "By the House of Allah," that is what is not permissible, because that is swearing by a created thing, and it is not permissible to swear by a created thing. Let the one who swears swear by Allah or remain silent. Yes.
