Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Sami. He says: Is it permissible to say, “I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you”?
Answer:
By Allah, it is not permissible. Reliance (tawakkul) is an act of worship, and it is not permissible to direct it to anyone but Allah. You do not say, “I worship Allah, and then I worship you.” Rather, you say, “I have placed my reliance on Allah, and I have entrusted you with it.” You say to the created being, “I have entrusted you with it,” but you do not say, “I have placed my reliance on you.” Say, “I have entrusted you with it.” Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
