Question:
Is it permissible for us to say, “I place my trust in Allah, and then in you”?
Answer:
The word “tawakkul” (reliance) is not permissible except for Allah. One says, “I place my trust in Allah”[Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. As for “tawkil” (delegating), it is permissible to say, “I delegated so-and-so.” You may say, “I delegated it to him,” but do not say, “I placed my trust in him.” Yes.
