Praise be to Allah Alone. I have reviewed an article published in Riyadh Newspaper, p. 11. Issue dated (23/12/1402 A.H.) It is entitled "A cry from a citizen who lost his money." The article includes the following: "By the Lord of the Worlds and His honest Messenger." Since taking oath is only permissible by Allah and His Names or Attributes, I deemed it necessary to pay attention to it.
Taking oath by others than Allah is absolutely impermissible, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever takes an oath should swear by Allah or remain silent." (i.e. He should not swear by other than Allah.) He (peace be upon him) also said, He who swears by anyone but Allah commits an act of disbelief or Shirk.
"Whoever takes an oath should swear by Allah or remain silent."
He who swears by anyone but Allah commits an act of disbelief or Shirk.
