Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to swear by the verses of Allah, such as saying, "I swear by the verses of Allah"?
Answer:
By the verses of Allah in the Qur'an? No. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever stops at a place and says, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah,' nothing will harm him until he departs from that place." Seeking refuge is a type of worship. It is permissible to seek refuge in Allah or in one of His attributes. The words of Allah are among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Therefore, it is permissible to swear by a verse of the Qur'an or by a surah. However, it is not permissible to swear by the cosmic verses of Allah in the heavens and the earth and the created things. Yes.
