The ruling on saying: “I have placed my trust in Allah, and then in you”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is the phrase "I place my trust in Allah, and then in you" considered minor shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
This phrase is not permissible. It is not permissible to say "I place my trust in you." Do not say "I place my trust in you" or "I place my trust in Allah, and then in you." This kind of reliance is an act of worship, and it is not permissible except for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). However, you may say, "I entrust you with this," or "I commit this to you," or "I hope for your help," as long as it does not contradict the truth.
