Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Seven, second, is it eaten like that? I am from the Saba' tribe. I have suffered since I was young, I mean. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: I mean, the expression is not precise. Distinguishing between what is eaten from the Saba' tribe. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. I. How are you? Praise be to Allah for your safety. And upon you be peace. There is no god but Allah. Goodbye.
The questioner: Our Shaykh, regarding the oath.
The Shaykh: I don't know the book.
The questioner: Regarding the hadith in the Qur'an. And if the oath has been permitted, what is the evidence?
The Shaykh: But do you believe the Qur'an is the speech of Allah?
The questioner: Ah. How are you?
The Shaykh: If you believe that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, and you believe that the speech of Allah is one of His attributes, then the one who swears by an attribute of Allah has not sworn by other than Allah. This is from the perspective of type and from the perspective of effect. It is established that one swears by the majesty of Allah. And the majesty of Allah is like the speech of Allah, i.e., an attribute of His. So if this is established, this is established. May Allah make the answer clear to you, if Allah wills. Good.
