The Ruling on Swearing by the Mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on swearing by the mushaf? Is swearing by the mushaf sufficient instead of swearing by the Qur'an, or by the words of Allah?
Answer:
If by the mushaf one means the words of Allah, yes, there is no harm. If one intends the words of Allah contained in it, there is no harm in that. However, explicitly saying "by the Qur'an" or "by such-and-such a surah" or "by such-and-such a verse" is better than saying "by the mushaf"; because the mushaf contains things that are not part of the Qur'an, such as the cover, the pages, and the script. Yes. The prayer of the one who is standing.
