Is it permissible to swear using the following phrases: "By the Lord of the Ka'bah"?
Answer:
Yes?
The presenter: "By the Lord of the Mushaf"?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: "By the life of the Prophet"?
The Shaykh: "By the life of the Prophet" is not permissible, but "by the Lord of the Ka'bah" and "by the Lord of the House" do not contradict the ruling. As for "by the life of the Prophet," he is a created human being, so it is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2679 And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Musnad Ahmad 329Sahih (Darussalam) that swearing should be by Allah or by His names and attributes. As for swearing by the life of the Prophet, or by the Prophet, or by trustworthiness, or by the honor of so-and-so, all of this is not permissible.

من حلف بشيء دون الله فقد أشرك
