The Ruling on Swearing by Trust

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Also, his last question on this topic, may Allah preserve you, he says: Also, swearing by trust.

Answer:
Swearing by trust is shirk (associating partners with Allah), so it is not permissible. The prohibition is specifically regarding swearing by trust, and this is shirk. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who swears by anyone or anything other than Allah, has indeed committed an act of Kufr or Shirkمن حلف بغير الله فقد كفر أو أشرك،
Riyad as-Salihin 1711
Swearing is only to be done by Allah, or by one of His names, or by one of His attributes, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and not by a created thing. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
