Question:
The word "trust" is on the tongues of many people, saying "trust, will you enter?"
Answer:
It is not permissible to swear by trust. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not swear by trust." It is not permissible to swear by trust. Whether one says "by trust" or "by the trust of Allah," or says "trust, will you enter" or "trust, will you drink," this is also an oath. The omission of the conjunction "and" makes it an oath.
Amanah means that, even though he swears by the trust that he will eat, drink, enter his house, and so on, this is an oath by other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1535Sahih (Darussalam) The narrator was uncertain whether the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The narrator provided both wordings out of caution. Yes.
