Swearing a lot without need


409

A: Repeatedly swearing by Allah about worldly matters is Makruh (disliked), especially when there is no need for it. This is based on the general meaning of the Ayah (Qur'anic verse) in which Allah (Exalted be He) says: And protect your oaths (i.e. do not swear much). Also, repeated swearing may lead to belittling the Name of Allah (Exalted be He).The Muslim is required to swear by Allah (Exalted be He) only for the purpose of assuring other people about something, removing any doubt they may have regarding it, or encouraging them to believe what they say to be true. That was the regular practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
