Saying: I have placed my reliance on Allah, then on you
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a person saying, "I have placed my reliance on Allah, then on you"?
The Shaykh:
The phrase "I have placed my reliance" is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic)[Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. As for entrusting a matter to someone, it is permissible to say to a created being, "I entrust you with this," or "I delegate this to you," or "I rely on you for such and such," or "I appoint you." However, saying "I have placed my reliance on you" is not permissible; this is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). [The verse is] "And in Allah place your trust if you are believers." Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And placing one's trust in Allah is among the greatest types of worship. Yes.
