[Saying: (Ya Lutf Allah) in the Scale]
What is your opinion about some people saying: Ya Lutf Allah! Ya Wajh Allah!?
If he says: Ya Lutf Allah! Only, and he did not say: Have mercy on me, so there is no harm, because (Ya) here is for wishing,Meaning: I wish for the mercy of Allah,And if he says: Ya Wajh Allah! He intends Allah Mighty and Majestic; because Allah expresses His Essence by His Face,As Allah the Exalted said: [Ar-Rahman: 27] So the important point is that since the Face is used to express the Essence, while the Face is established as a reality, it is permissible to say: Ya Wajh Allah! Calling upon Allah Mighty and Majestic, As for mercy (Lutf), it is an attribute of meaning; if he restricts himself to saying: Ya Lutf Allah! Meaning: I wish for the mercy of Allah, then there is nothing wrong with it,As for if he calls upon the attribute, he says: Ya Lutf Allah, have mercy on me or forgive me, then this is not permissible, as Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Calling upon an attribute of Allah’s attributes is disbelief by consensus.
