The ruling on saying: "This is all from you" when making a mistake in a task
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success: If a person is doing a job and another person comes and the one doing the job makes a mistake, and he says, "This is all from you," is this speech a form of taking an omen as a bad sign?
Answer:
What is good is what is good. If he means by "from you" that it is because of you, that may have a basis, for a person can be the cause of evil. But if his intention is that it is from you, that you are the one who brought about the evil, that is not permissible. That is the action of Allah and the divine decree and destiny of Allah.
