Question:
What is the ruling on one who swears by the Qur'an and says, "Whoever does not swear by it is a disbeliever"? I hope you will give me evidence from the Book or the Sunnah, if there is any. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is ignorant talk. Swearing by the Qur'an, if one intends the words of Allah, is permissible, but it is not obligatory for people to swear by the Qur'an; it is not required. They swear by the names of Allah: "By Allah," "By the Most Merciful," "By the Most Compassionate," "By the Almighty." It is not required to swear by the Qur'an, but it is permissible to swear by the Qur'an if one intends the words of Allah . As for leaving that aside, there is no blame on him, no sin, and no disbelief, I seek refuge in Allah; because he can swear by something other than the Qur'an, such as by Allah, or by the Almighty, or by the Wise, or by the All-Powerful. The words of Allah are one of His attributes, so it is permissible to swear by them, just as one says, "By the knowledge of Allah" or "By the might of Allah." There is no harm in that, but it is not required to swear by the Qur'an if he swears by other names of Allah and His attributes; there is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
