Question:
This questioner says: Some people put us in a difficult position with a phrase. When someone wants something from me, he says, "I ask you by Allah to give me such-and-such," or "to do such-and-such." Is it obligatory for me to respond to him when he uses this phrase?
Answer:
This is putting someone in a difficult position, but if he asks you by Allah, give him what he asks for. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So respond to them out of reverence for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
