Question:
I heard that it is not permissible to swear by an attribute of Allah unless it is linked to the one who possesses it. What is your opinion?
Answer:
That is necessary. One does not swear by an attribute unless it is linked to the one who possesses it. So one says: By the majesty of Allah, by the power of Allah, by the knowledge of Allah, by the speech of Allah, or by something known to be an attribute of Allah, such as: By the Qur'an, or by the Qur'an, since it is known that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, so there is no harm. As for a created thing, it is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2679.

Whoever has to take an oath should swear by Allah or remain silent.
