The ruling on calling out to an absent person when an accident occurs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It has become widespread among many elderly women, especially when an accident happens or something falls from their hand, for them to say "O so-and-so," using the name of their brother, or their father, or their son. We do not know whether this is calling for aid or merely a habit they have become accustomed to. I ask for clarification on this matter.
Answer:
In any case, this is not permissible. Calling out to an absent person is not permissible, even if the person does not intend to call for aid. Even if it has become a habit for a person without any right, he should not speak in this manner. He should not say "O Allah" or "In the name of Allah." No, it is not permissible.
