Oaths by the Verses of the Qur'an and by the Ka'bah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. What is the ruling on swearing by the verses of the Ka'bah or the verses of the Qur'an, considering them to be the speech of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
If one swears by a verse from the verses of the Qur'an, or by a surah, or by the Qur'an, this is an attribute of Allah, because the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and an oath is established by it. As for swearing by the Ka'bah, this is not permissible, because the Ka'bah is a created thing, and this is a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. It is not permissible to swear by the Ka'bah. No, but if he says, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah," this is correct, because he is swearing by Allah. Yes.
