The Ruling on Swearing by One’s Honor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on saying “by my pledge” or “by your pledge”?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to swear by the pledge or by trust. It is not permissible to swear by anything other than Allah, absolutely not. Yes.
The questioner:
I ask Allah for you. He says, in the continuation of his question: Is the pledge an attribute among the attributes of Allah, such that it is permissible to swear by it?
The Shaykh:
He did not say “the pledge of Allah.” He said “my pledge,” the pledge of the servant, the human being. This is not permissible. Yes.
