Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a religious prohibition in such phrases, such as "in the name of the homeland," "in the name of the people," and "in the name of Arabism"?

Answer:
The homeland and the people are not a Lord to be invoked by name. One says "in the name of Allah," not "in the name of the people" or "in the name of this" or "in the name of that." These are phrases used by those who do not adhere to a religion, such as "in the name of the revolution" or "in the name of such and such." The believer says "in the name of Allah." Yes.
