The ruling on saying: “Blessing visited us” to a guest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says, may Allah reward you: What is the ruling on a visitor saying, “Blessing visited you”?
The Shaykh:
This falls under the category of praising the visitor and encouraging him to visit; there is no harm in that. However, one should not say “May you be a blessing to us” or “May you be a blessing upon us” with the intention of seeking blessing from him; this is not permissible. As for saying “Blessing visited us,” meaning that blessing came to us because of you, this falls under the category of optimism and encouragement.
The presenter:
Allah.
The Shaykh:
Blessing may visit, and failure may visit with some people, yes.
