Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: It has become common among us that when we see a sick person, a poor person, or someone in a weak condition, we say “Wa ‘Aziz.” I do not know the meaning of the word “Wa ‘Aziz,” so what is the ruling on it? Especially after I learned that there is an idol named al-‘Uzzy, and I feared that this word might be related to it.
Answer:
Leave it, as long as you are afraid of it and you fear that it is a call to the idol, leave it. There is plenty of correct speech, praise be to Allah. Say something else. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
