Oaths sworn to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on swearing oaths to Allah the Exalted? Is it permissible absolutely, or does it have conditions? For example, when a person is in distress, he might say, "I swear by You, O my Lord, that You will remove this calamity from me."
Answer:
Answer: There is nothing wrong with swearing an oath to his Lord. This falls under the category of faith in Allah and trust in Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, among the servants of Allah are those whom, if they were to swear an oath to Allah, He would fulfill it." However, the situation is that the Muslim should rectify his state, establish his religion and his creed, so that when he falls into distress, Allah will rescue him from it.
