The ruling on saying: "O remembrance of Allah and the Prophet" in times of panic
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on some elderly people saying "O remembrance of Allah and the Prophet" when they are panicked or surprised?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. When panicked, one should remember Allah and say "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for seeking aid from the Prophet, this is not permissible; this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Or swearing by the Prophet, this is not permissible.
The presenter:
Stop the adhan, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
There is no god but Allah.
