Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, one who says that if a person swears by other than Allah without exalting the thing sworn by, then that is idle talk, since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Answer:
No, it is not possible for him to swear without exalting it, not at all. This is a lie. It is not possible for him to swear except while he is exalting it. This is not from the idle talk of oaths; this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). I say it is from the idle talk of oaths, and it is shirk. Whoever swears by other than Allah has committed kufr (disbelief) or shirk. Yes.
