Statement: And by Allah, by the trust, in the context of swearing an oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it understood from the statement of the one who says, "By Allah, by the trust," that what I am telling you, I am telling you with truth, or is it understood from it that he swore by other than Allah?
Answer:
This is the correct view: that it is an oath by other than Allah. This is not permissible. It is not permissible to say, "By Allah, by the trust." This has become two oaths: an oath by Allah and an oath by the trust. An oath of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and an oath of shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is not permissible. And what is it that compels you to this trust? Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. Leave this speech. Yes.
