The ruling on supplicating with the phrase “I entrust my father to you”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible, Shaykh, to supplicate with this phrase: “O my Lord, I entrust my father and my mother to You with good, and that You encompass them with Your care”?
Answer:
This wording is not permissible regarding Allah. You do not entrust Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), but you supplicate to Allah for them with good, you supplicate to Allah for their protection, and you supplicate to Allah for beneficial supplication for them. As for entrusting Allah with them, I do not know a basis for that. However, if she says, “I entrust you to Allah,” or “I entrust you to Allah,” or “O Allah, I entrust my daughter or my family to You,” there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
