Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the ruling on this phrase: “I ask you by the right of your father” or “I ask you by the right of the relatives”?
Answer:
This is not permissible except by the right of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), or by seeking nearness to Allah through Him or one of His attributes, or through righteous deeds. To say “the right of so-and-so” or “the right of your Prophet” or “the status of so-and-so” is a religious innovation (bid'ah).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. That is the end of it. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
