The ruling on saying: "May Allah be upon you"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the brothers in one of the Arab countries say "May Allah be upon you" or "May Allah be upon you" when they want to ask a person for something, and they use this as we say "For the sake of Allah."
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. The jurists say that if a person says "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) upon you," he is subject to discretionary punishment for this statement. Therefore, "Allahu Akbar upon you" is not to be said in the context of disapproval, and this phrase is not to be used.
The presenter:
May Allah guide you.
