Question

I know taking oath from other than Allah is haram.

1) does that include Quran?

2) I heard it is shirk to take oath other than allah. My parent take oath by my sibling name and other than allah name. My mom say she doesn't think Allah is lower than these name. She know Allah is greatest. Is she's still a kaafir?

She say there is nothing wrong with it. What to do if she doesn't care about my advice after explaing that it is haram?

Answer

Assal?mu `alaikum Warahmatull?hi Wabrakatuh,

It is not permissible to take an oath on anything besides All?h Ta`?l? and His sif?t (qualities and attributes). If a person takes an oath on the Qur?n, the oath will be valid even though it is not permissible to take an oath on the Qur?n.

Taking oaths on other people, for example on one?s children, is extremely dangerous.

You should explain to your mother in a kind and loving manner the seriousness of the matter. If she does not agree with you, you should keep silent and continue making du`? for her.
