The Ruling on Saying the Name of Allah in Every Action

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Nasser, says: The hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
Every important matter that does not startكُلُّ أَمْرٍ ذِي بَالٍ لاَ يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 1894Da'if (Darussalam)
"In the name of Allah, it is more blessed." Does this mean that it is prescribed for me to say "In the name of Allah" in every action I undertake, whether it relates to acts of worship or to everyday matters?

Answer:
Every matter of significance is a matter that has a status. As for ordinary and trivial matters, there is no need for "In the name of Allah." This is only for matters of significance: one begins with "In the name of Allah" when eating, when drinking, when entering the mosque, and when entering the home. Yes.
