Saying: I ask you by Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on saying, "I ask you by Allah"?

Answer:
Yes. There is nothing wrong with it, but the one who is asked by Allah should strive to give. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
whoever asks of you in (the name of) Allah, give him;مَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ وَمَنِ
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2567Da'if (Darussalam)
Yes, this is exalting Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So if someone asks you by Allah, give to him. This is part of exalting Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
