The ruling on swearing by the eye of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some of the common people among us swear by the eye of Allah. Is this permissible?
I seek refuge in Allah, I seek refuge in Allah. This is forbidden and not permissible, because Allah the Exalted has not applied the term "eye" to His essence. Oaths are only permissible by Allah Mighty and Majestic.And for this reason we say: It is permissible to swear by the face of Allah; because Allah applied the term "face" to His essence in His saying: [Ar-Rahman: 27] As for the eye of Allah and the hand of Allah, this is not permissible.
And Glory be to Allah the Great, for Satan urges a person to urge him toward sins.
Is there nothing left to swear by except the eye of Allah?!

وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلالِ وَالْأِكْرَامِAnd Glory be to Allah the Great, for Satan urges a person to urge him toward sins.
