The Ruling on Swearing by the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the well-known hadith regarding the Qur'an, even though it is constantly narrated about the Qur'an?
Answer:
One does not swear by the Qur'an. This is a bad custom. The Qur'an is not to be used for oaths. A person swears without the Qur'an and is truthful in his oath; he does not swear falsely. But the Qur'an is not to be used for that purpose. It is not to be employed in oaths. And I do not know of any scholar who said that one swears by the Qur'an. This is merely a custom of the common people. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
