Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: On one of the large advertising billboards, there is a slogan that reads, "Two accounts save the Chechens,"
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: On one of the large advertising billboards, there is a slogan that reads, "Two accounts save the Chechens," and by "two accounts" he means bank accounts. What is the ruling on this slogan?
The Shaykh:
Professor Ahmad.
The questioner:
Two accounts save the Chechens.
The Shaykh:
Two professors.
The questioner:
Save the Chechens, and by "two accounts" he means bank accounts.
The Shaykh:
First, placing advertisements in the mosque: it has been stated to you previously that it is not permissible, whether for the Chechens or anyone else; it is not permissible to place advertisements in mosques. Second, salvation is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); this is an exaggeration in speech. However, saying "Ismail helps" or "two accounts help the Chechens" is fine, as helping is permissible. But as for salvation, no one saves except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
