Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one says, "By the life of the Prophet," is this an oath by other than Allah?
Answer:
Yes, because the life of the Prophet is a created thing. The life of the Prophet is a created thing, and it is not permissible to swear by a created thing. As for the saying of Allah the Exalted, "By your life," this is specific to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), who swears by whatever He wills. "By your life" means the life of the Messenger. Allah swore by the life of the Messenger, and we do not swear except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
