Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a person saying, “I have placed my trust in Allah, and then in him”? He has placed his trust in him. Is this specific?
Answer:
In Allah[Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. As for delegating, one says to a created being, “I delegate it to you,” or “I entrust it to you,” or “I rely on you for such and such,” or “I depend on you.” But saying “I have placed my trust in him” is not permissible; this is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) [Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. And placing one’s trust in Allah is among the greatest types of worship. Yes.
