Translation text: السؤال: ما حكم الحلف بآيات الله؟ He says (the questioner): Virtuous Sheikh, may Allah give you success. What is the ruling on swearing by the Ayaat of Allah? الجواب: الآيات القرآنية لا بأس، لأنها من صفات الله؛ The Answer: There is no problem in swearing by the ayaat of the Quran, because it is from The Attributes of Allah. لأن الآيات القرآنية من كلام الله وكلامه صفة من صفاته جل وعلا، That’s because the Quranic ayaat are from The Words of Allah, and His words are an Attribute from His Attributes, ويجوز الحلف بصفة من صفات الله عز وجل، And it is allowed to swear by an Attribute from the Attributes of Allah the Most High. أما الآيات الكونية مثل الشمس والقمر والنجوم والسماء والأرض فلا يجوز الحلف بها؛ As for the universal ayaat, like the sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens, and the earth, it is not allowed to swear by them. لأنها مخلوقة والآيات القرآنية غير مخلوقة، That’s because they are created, And the Quranic ayaat are not created. والنبي ﷺ يقول: «من نزل منزلًا فقال أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق» And the Prophet ﷺ says: “Whoever enters a house and says ‘I seek refuge by the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil that has been created..” فإذا كان يجوز الاستعاذة بكلمات الله جاز الحلف بها، So, making istaa’dah (seeking refuge) by the Words of Allah is permissible, so too is swearing by them. كلمات الله هي كلامه سبحانه وتعالى. The Words of Allah are His Speech, Exalted is He. Yes. -------------------------- Telegram: https://t.me/SheikhSalihAlFawzan YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ShaykhSalihAlFawzan Instagram: https://instagram.com/@saalih.al.fawzan
