The Ruling on Swearing by the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to swear by the Qur'an?
Swearing by the Qur'an, meaning the Qur'an that was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), is permissible; because it is the speech of Allah, and the speech of Allah the Exalted is one of His attributes, and it is permissible to swear by all of the attributes of Allah.
As for if you mean by the Qur'an the mushaf, which is the paper and the written letters, then this is not permissible; because this is a created thing, and swearing by a created thing is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever swears by other than Allah has committed disbelief or shirk) Then we also say: What prompted you to swear by the Qur'an? Is there any oath except by the Qur'an? Swear by Allah,The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever is swearing, let him swear by Allah or remain silent) .
