The ruling on swearing by one's parents or invoking a curse upon them when taking an oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
No, no, no, no, they do not believe you. They do not believe you, and then you say, "I swear by your father, perhaps your father will be embarrassed." All right, thank you, my brother Nasser. Your Excellency the Shaykh, the brother says that some people, when you swear to them, are not satisfied unless you swear by some of the attributes, such as invoking a curse upon their parents, for example, saying "by the burning" or the like. So what is your guidance on this, O Shaykh?
Answer:
Do not respond to them. If a person is not satisfied with an oath by Allah, then do not swear to him by anything other than Allah. If he is the one swearing, let him swear by Allah or let him remain silent.
