Oath by the Mushaf and Seeking Intercession through the Status of the Surahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it prescribed to swear by the mushaf or by the rank of the surahs?
The Shaykh:
The mushaf contains leather, margins, and other things by which one might swear, but one should swear by the Qur'an or by a verse of the Qur'an. One does not swear by the mushaf, because the mushaf contains leather and human work, such as writing with ink and dye. It contains created things, including the words of Allah and things made by created beings. Therefore, one does not swear by the mushaf; one swears by the Qur'an, or by a verse, or by a surah.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Currently, seeking intercession through the status of the Messenger is not permissible, and seeking intercession through the status of the surahs is a lie. Seeking intercession through status is not permissible. Yes.
