Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on a man saying, “My face is upon you that you dine with us or do such and such,” instead of swearing by Allah? He means by “my face is upon you” that he is asking you to dine with us and not to disobey him. He means, “Do this” or “Do that.”
Answer:
Leaving it aside is undoubtedly better, but we do not see that it is forbidden. However, if he says, “The face of Allah is upon you,” that is what is not permissible. As for his own face, how is his face? Yes.
