The saying and the action of Allah, and not His action
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, and in his second question he says: What is the ruling on some people saying, “It is Allah’s doing, not His doing”?
Answer:
The omen is having a good opinion of Allah, so this is not attributed to Allah; rather, it belongs to the servant. It is the servant who has a good opinion or a bad opinion. As for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), having a good opinion and an omen are not attributed to Him, because this has not been established regarding Allah. So do not say this phrase.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
