What is the ruling on swearing by the mushaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it reported, O Shaykh, that one swears by the mushaf?
The Shaykh : The mushaf?
The questioner : I mean, is it reported that one swears by the khatmah?
The Shaykh : If the oath is by the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), it is permissible. But as for the mushaf, listen, may Allah guide you, listen. As for swearing by the mushaf, it involves swearing by something that is not the words of Allah, which is the paper. So the paper on which the mushaf is printed, it is not permissible to swear by the mushaf. However, it is permissible to swear by the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), which is the Noble Qur'an. Perhaps you understood me?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Please, let the brothers come down.
