Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on one who swears and says: I swear by the majesty of Allah, or I swear by the greatness of Allah, or I swear by the dignity of Allah, or I swear by the life of Allah.
The Shaykh : There is no harm in swearing by all of these, because these are the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The scholars have stated that it is permissible to swear by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) by any of His names and by the attributes of Allah. The majesty of Allah, the greatness of Allah, the dignity of Allah, and the life of Allah are all among His attributes, so swearing by them is permissible.
