The Ruling on Swearing by the Awliya and Exalting Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when you say to them, "Swear by Allah," they swear, but when you say to them, "Swear by the wali," they swear?
Answer:
One does not swear by the wali. This is part of exalting the wali. We ask Allah for safety. If his exalting of the wali is greater than his exalting of Allah, it is major shirk (associating partners with Allah).
