The ruling on saying: “I have placed my trust in Allah, and then in you”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for us to say, “I place my trust in Allah, and then in you”?
Answer:
Reliance (tawakkul) is only upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for entrusting a matter to someone, that is permissible; you say, “I have entrusted you” or “I have entrusted so-and-so.” But you do not say, “I have placed my reliance on so-and-so,” or “I have placed my reliance on you,” or “I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you.” You do not place your reliance on anyone other than Allah alone.[Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. This is because reliance is an act of worship, and it is not permissible to direct it to anyone other than Allah. Yes.

And upon Allah rely, if you should be believers."
