Oath by Aid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that many of the common people say, "By aid" or "With aid." Is this an oath by other than Allah or not?
Answer:
We do not know what this "aid" is. They say it means "May he pray." If it means "May he pray," that is not fitting, because it is an oath by other than Allah. "By Allah's aid" or "With aid from Allah"—this "with aid from Allah" means pointing to the source, and this is acceptable. Yes.
