Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on relying on others in matters they are capable of?
Answer:
Reliance (tawakkul) is only for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for entrusting and delegating, there is no harm in it; one person acts on your behalf to fulfill your need or the like, and there is no harm in that. This is called entrusting (tawkeel), not reliance (tawakkul). Reliance is an act of worship that is only for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
