Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to testify by other than Allah, such as if I say, "I testify by so-and-so," and the like?

Answer:
No. Testifying is an oath, so it is not permissible to swear by other than Allah. Yes.
