The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on writing certain phrases, such as saying, “I sacrifice my father and mother for you, O Messenger of Allah”?
The Shaykh:
This is a form of sacrifice; there is no harm in it. It means, “I would sacrifice my father and mother for you.” Yes.
The questioner:
And the same applies to saying, “I would sacrifice my soul for you, O Messenger of Allah.”
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that; all of this is good. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) took up swords and weapons, all to support the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They sold themselves to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in jihad in the cause of Allah and in support of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
