The Ruling on Swearing by the Verses of Allah and Saying "By Your Honor"

Question:
This questioner sent this message. Umm Riyadh from Riyadh says: What is the ruling on swearing by the signs of Allah? Also, what is the ruling on saying "by your honor"? Is this swearing by one's honor? Please inform us.

Answer:
The signs of Allah are of two types. The first type is the cosmic signs, such as the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the seas, and so on. It is not permissible to swear by them, because this is swearing by a created thing, and swearing by a created thing is not permissible. The second type is the signs of Allah in the Qur'an. It is permissible to swear by these, because the Qur'an is from the speech of Allah, and His speech is among His attributes, Glorified and Exalted is He. Therefore, it is permissible to swear by the Qur'an, or by a verse, or by a surah, because they are from the attributes of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, from His speech. This is the detail in the issue of swearing by the signs of Allah. As for saying "by your honor," the preposition "by" here is the preposition of oath, so this is swearing by the honor, and the honor is a created thing, so that is not permissible. Yes.
