Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a servant does not speak of the blessings of Allah the Exalted upon him out of fear of the evil eye, does this contradict the gratitude for the blessing, or does he rely upon Allah the Exalted and speak of His blessings upon him, such as the abundance of wealth, children, and livestock?
Answer:
A person does not leave anything of his religion out of fear of the evil eye or out of fear of people, because gratitude is part of the religion. So he thanks Allah for His blessings and does not leave that because of fear of people.
