Is it permissible to swear by saying: "By the life of Him who revealed the Quran"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Swearing by the life of the One Who revealed the Qur’an is permissible because it is an oath by one of Allah’s attributes, namely the attribute of life. The sound prophetic texts in " Al-Bukhari and Muslim" indicate the permissibility of swearing by the attributes of Allah Almighty. Scholars have inferred this from what was reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Companions, regarding swearing by might, power, and the words of Allah. The jurists of the four schools of thought have explicitly stated the permissibility of swearing by the attributes of Allah Almighty, such as knowledge, power, and might.
