Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned among the phrases that are prohibited: "I am relying on Allah and on you." Does this mean it is permissible to say, "I am relying on Allah, and then on you"?
Answer:
It is not permissible to say "relying" (mutawakkil), because the term tawakkul (reliance) is specific to Allah[Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. However, it is permissible to use the terms tawkil (delegation) and tafwid (entrustment); you may say, "I have delegated to you to do such and such." Yes. As for the term tawakkul, it is exclusive to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
