The ruling on saying: “I have placed my trust in Allah, and then in you”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: What is the ruling on some people saying, “I place my reliance on Allah, and then on you”?
Answer:
No, one does not say, “I place my reliance on Allah, and then on you.” The word “reliance” (tawakkul) is not used for anyone but Allah. As for entrusting a matter to someone, it is not permissible to say, “I entrust you with it” in the sense of reliance; rather, one says, “I place my reliance on Allah and entrust you with it,” or “I entrust you with it and place my reliance on Allah,” and there is no harm in that.
