The Ruling on Seeking Refuge in a Created Being
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh’s (may Allah grant you success) question is: What is the ruling on seeking refuge in a created being in something that the created being is capable of? So I say, “I take refuge in so-and-so from so-and-so.”
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to seek refuge except in Allah. “I take refuge in so-and-so from the evil of so-and-so” — what you should say is, “I take refuge in Allah from the evil of so-and-so,” for it is Allah alone who provides help.
