The Ruling on Swearing by One’s Honor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: I am confused by certain phrases, such as “by my honor, I will do such and such” or “by your honor, you will take this.” Is there anything wrong with this?
Answer:
This is swearing by other than Allah. If one says, “By my honor, I will certainly do such and such” or “By my honor, you will certainly do such and such,” this is an oath and a vow, and it is not permissible to swear by other than Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
