The ruling on saying: “Allah is my intercessor”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This common saying: some people, when they want to take up a position, are asked, “Do you have a connection?” and they say, “Allah is my connection.” Is this statement correct?
Answer:
This is forbidden. It is not permissible to make Allah an intercessor with the creation. The hadith passed by you in which it was said, “We seek intercession with Allah against Him,” and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry. He said, “The affair of Allah is greater. Indeed, Allah, because the one for whom intercession is sought becomes greater, greater than the one who legislates, so the created being is made greater than Allah. This is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
