Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Swearing by the names of Allah is permissible, and it was mentioned in the : "Whoever takes an oath should swear by Allah or remain silent." Swearing by the attributes of Allah is like swearing by Allah. Life is one of Allah's attributes, and the saying "by Allah's life" is an oath meaning swearing by Allah's existence and life. Based on this, there is no impediment for the one who swears to swear by the life of Allah.
