Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: Is it permissible for some people who intervene to reconcile tribes in their disputes to say, “We ask you by the status of Allah,” or “We come to you by the status of Allah”?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to say “by the status of Allah.” This is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
You have done well.
The Shaykh:
That is, they make the status of Allah a means over them, meaning they seek nearness to Allah through the status of Allah over them. This is not permissible. Yes. It is as if they have elevated themselves from Allah and seek nearness to them through the status of Allah. This is from the lower to the higher. Yes.
