The ruling on saying, “In your name, we welcome so-and-so”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the one who says, “In your name, we welcome so-and-so,” and is it permissible to use a name other than the specific wording?

Answer:
On your behalf. If his intention is “on your behalf, we welcome so-and-so,” then there is nothing wrong with it. But if his intention is seeking blessing (tabarruk), then it is not permissible, such as saying “In the name of Allah, seeking blessing and aid.” This is not permissible.
