A questioner sent us a message that reads: Some people are used to swear by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and this has become customary for them, yet they do not take that as a belief. What is the ruling on this?

Ans by Imam Ibn Baz:
Swearing by the Prophet (peace be upon him) or any other part of creation is a grave Munkar (that which is unacceptable or disapproved of by Islamic law and Muslims of sound intellect) and a form of Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship). Thus, it is not permissible for anyone to swear but by Allah Alone.

It is reported from Imam Ibn `Abdul­Bar (may Allah be merciful with him) that it is not permissible to swear by other than Allah. Besides, authentic Hadith are related in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade this and declared it to be an act of Shirk. One of these Hadith is the one related in the Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith (i.e. Al­Bukhari and Muslim) from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said:

Verily! Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers. If one has to take an oath, they should swear by Allah or else keep silent.

Another wording reads:

...they should swear by Allah or say nothing.

Moreover, Abu Dawud and Al­Tirmidhy related through an authentic Sanad (chain of narrators) from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said:

"Anyone who swears by other than Allah has become a Kafir (disbeliever) or Mushrik (one who associates others with Allah in His Divinity or worship)."

It is also authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

"Anyone who swears by Amanah (trust) is not one of us."

There are numerous Hadith on this issue, and it is obligatory for all Muslims not to swear by other than Allah. Again, it is not permissible to swear by any creature, no matter who it may be, according to the Hadith mentioned above as well as other Hadith. Hence, the one who is used to do so should be warned against that and his family members, companions and acquaintances should be warned against that as well. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

Anyone among you who sees (an act of) Munkar should change it with his hand; if he could not (do it), he should do so with his tongue; and if he could not, (even) then he should abhor it from his heart, and that is the least (form) of Iman (Faith).
(Related by Muslim in his Sahih Book of Hadith)

Furthermore, swearing by other than Allah is a form of minor Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship), based on the above quoted Hadith. It could even be a form of major shirk if the one taking oath has it in his heart that the one by whom he swears deserves glorification just as Allah deserves it or that he could be worshipped along with Allah, or any other similar disbelieving objectives.

We ask Allah to endow all the Muslims with protection against that and to grant them understanding of His Religion and safety from all things that could bring about His Wrath; indeed He is All-­Hearing, Ever ­Near.

Pls Let's be guided, Allah is the Almighty, HE can swear with whatever HE wishes, HE is the Creator, HE gives and takes anything HE wishes. As Humans, we are prohibited by ALLAH to swear with anything but HIM. Just as the post said.

interesting, guess that's the only time allah handles things himself, everyother time he needs a Muslim to go kill an infidel who has a freewill.

BTW the taqqiya practitioners on this forum are also aiding and abeiting for the true terrorists by silence/image polishing, there is a portion in Islam that allows support by deceit

The essence of swearing is that you are calling upon a higher power to affirm wether or not you're telling the truth.

Are you saying wind and mountains are a higher power than Allah?

Because he's the Creator..

HE can swear with any of his creation

As a creation of Allah, swearing by creation of Allah is a shrik.. Kufru.. Disbelief..






Its better to lie and swear with Allah name than to be saying the truth and swear by his creation

Allah created everything and can swear with any of his creation. But Muslims are not allowed to swear with anything other than Allah.

As I said earlier, when you swear or make an oath, you swear in the name of someone greater than you. So why would Allah swear on his creation?
