Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on swearing by my children’s beloveds?
The Shaykh:
What are your beloveds?
The questioner:
Their beloveds are with him.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to swear by anything other than Allah, neither by your children's heads nor by anything else. You should not swear except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic) or by one of His attributes. I mean, we are talking about this from the Maghrib prayer; does swearing by your children's heads pose a problem for you? Yes.
