The ruling on saying "The power of Allah willed it" or "The destinies willed it"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view regarding one who says, “The power of Allah willed it,” or one who says, “The destinies willed it”?
Answer:
This is not permissible; the actual attribution itself is not permissible. One says, "Allah willed it," "What Allah willed," or "Allah decreed it." As for saying, "The will of Allah willed it," this expression is incorrect. May Allah keep you safe. Because its meaning is as if the attribute became something other than Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
