Swearing by other than Allah may be major disbelief or minor disbelief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Swearing by other than Allah may be major disbelief or minor disbelief
Is swearing by other than Allah minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) or major shirk?
Swearing by other than Allah is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) that does not take one out of the religion, unless the one who swears believes that the thing by which he swears has the same degree of exaltation as Allah (Mighty and Majestic). In that case, he commits major disbelief, because he has taken a rival for Allah.
