Asking by Allah and seeking absolution from the questioners

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And here, Shaykh, we need guidance. Some questioners write the phrase, “I ask you by Allah to ask the Shaykh,” or “I will not release you until you answer my question.” I do not know what the ruling on this is.

Answer:
It is better to refrain from asking by Allah; one should say, "My brother, or so and so." Otherwise, based on the most extreme hadith, "Whoever asks by Allah, give to him." There is no harm in asking for three hours, and I do not read [it], and there is no harm in asking them by Allah. However, refraining from asking by Allah is better to avoid the oath. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, (peace and blessings be upon him)
if anyone begs in Allah's name, give him somethingمن سأل بالله فأعطوه
Sunan Abi Dawud 1672Sahih (Al-Albani)
, intending to emphasize the presentation of the request. Yes.
