The Ruling on Swearing by the Qur'an and Its Greatness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who swears by the Noble Qur'an and its greatness?
Answer:
The Qur'an is the speech of Allah, so swearing by the Qur'an is swearing by the speech of Allah. If he says, "By the Glorious Qur'an," or "By the speech of Allah, I will not do such-and-such," then he is swearing by the Qur'an, swearing by the speech of Allah, just as if he said, "By the knowledge of Allah," "By the majesty of Allah," or "By the mercy of Allah"; there is no difference between them.
Question: Another person says: The administrative manager of public relations at King Fahd Hospital prevents anyone who wants to remind people of prayer inside the hospital, and this is a great matter, as it helps in abandoning prayer. How can this behavior come from a responsible man in a Muslim country? For it is strange and abhorrent.
Answer: The matter will be looked into, if Allah wills.
