Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is swearing by Allah based on the servant's belief that he has a right upon Allah, such that He must answer him? Is this included in the prohibition against a servant claiming a right over his Lord?
Answer:
It is from the category of having good expectations of Allah, not from the category of asserting a right of the servant upon Allah; rather, it is from the category of having good expectations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
