Question:
Is it permissible for me to say, "I have placed my reliance on Allah, and then on you," or "I have placed my reliance on you"?
Answer:
No, tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) is for Allah alone; one does not place reliance on anyone else. One places reliance on Allah[Al-Ma'idah 5:23] But you may say, "I have entrusted you," or "I have entrusted you, so-and-so," or "I have committed this to you, so-and-so," or "I have appointed you," or the like. Yes.
