Swearing by other than Allah due to the slip of the tongue: Is it minor shirk?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A person swore by other than Allah, and this was a slip of his tongue; he did not intend it.
The Shaykh : No, he owes nothing.[Al-Baqarah 2:225] However, he must keep his tongue pure from saying what is forbidden. If he says "By the Prophet" and is told, "Do not swear by the Prophet, for it is shirk," he should say, "By the Prophet, I do not swear by other than Allah." This is what is correct.
The Shaykh : No, he owes nothing.
