Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: In the hadith narrated by Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf, and the Muslims performed tawaf, meaning between al-Safa and al-Marwah. It was a recommended practice. By my life, Allah does not complete the Hajj of one who does not perform tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwah. The question is: Is her statement (may Allah be pleased with her), “By my life,” an oath by other than Allah, or what is its ruling?
Answer:
No, she did not intend an oath. This phrase is on people’s tongues. Originally, it was an oath, but it has come to be used without the intention of an oath. Yes.
