Question:
Some people today raise the issue of swearing by other than Allah in a way that confuses the people, and they say. We direct. He says: Some people raise the issue of swearing by other than Allah in a way that confuses the people, and they say that swearing by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is forbidden and is not shirk (associating partners with Allah), and they cite some statements from some of the later scholars.
Answer:
Glory be to Allah, we leave the saying of the Messenger and take the sayings of the people. The Messenger says: Whoever swears by other than Allah, by other than Allah absolutely, by his father or by other than that, or by the Prophet, whoever swears by other than Allah absolutely has committed kufr (disbelief) or shirk (associating partners with Allah). And this person says: No, it is not shirk. He says: The Messenger, you are not being truthful, it is not shirk, it is not shirk. This is, glory be to Allah, some people do not think about what they say because so-and-so said it, so-and-so is not our concern, they said: No, there is no saying for anyone alongside the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
