Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on saying about a person that he is blessed? Is this, O Shaykh, an exaggeration? Does it fall under exaggeration? This is the first question. The Shaykh answered.
Answer:
No, my brother, this is good. You say, "May you be blessed, may Allah bless you." This is from optimism and supplication, and it is a good thing. "Make me blessed wherever I am." This is from the category of supplication and optimism, my brother, and it is not from the category of exaggeration. Yes.
