The questioner:
Regarding the application of certain verses to a specific title, for example in newspapers, by someone who has no religious knowledge. He speaks, for example, saying, "Turn away from this, O Yusuf," meaning one of the players. May Allah reward you. What is the ruling? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Ignorance. If he enters the house, we will call him "Yusuf."
The questioner:
Yes, but he intended the verse, meaning, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
This means that he may cite some verses. This is easy if it is in a right context.
The questioner:
He is playing football, may Allah bless you. He says, "Turn away from this, O Yusuf."
The Shaykh:
The matter is easy. I say, no, once. If his name is Yusuf, then it is easy.
The questioner:
If he used the phrase from the Qur'an, it is better for you.
The Shaykh:
If it is in a right context, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
