The questioner:
This questioner says: It has become common in our country for a man to say to his wife when she gives birth, "Thank you for the child."
The Shaykh:
When she gives birth.
The questioner:
Yes, when she gives birth, he says to her, "Thank you for the child," or "May Allah reward you with good for the child." What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
That is not permissible. He attributes this to her, but this is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Why did he not say, "Thank you to Allah who granted me this child"?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
