The ruling on saying: “You are our hope”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on saying, “You are our hope”?
The Shaykh:
Our hope.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
It depends on the intention of the one who says it. If he means that it is sufficient for them that this servant is sufficient for them in what they want, then this is invalid and shirk (associating partners with Allah). But if he says this out of good opinion of his brother, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
