The Ruling on the Phrase "I Entrust It to Allah, Then I Entrust It to You"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for your well-being. The Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on this phrase, “I entrusted it to Allah, then I entrusted it to you”?
Answer:
O my brothers, tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) is an act of worship. It is not permissible to say to a created being, “I have relied on you,” nor to say, “I entrusted it to Allah, then I entrusted it to you.” Say, “I entrusted it to you,” and that is sufficient. Say, “You are my agent,” “I have delegated it to you,” “You are my support,” or something similar. Yes. As for saying, “I relied on Allah, then on you,” this is not permissible. Or saying, “I entrusted it to Allah, then I entrusted it to you,” this is not appropriate. Say, “I entrusted it to you,” or “You are my agent,” or “You are my deputy,” or something similar. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
