Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This person is asking about the ruling on saying, "Al-Rahman sends [goodness] to you" or "Al-Rahman visits you"?
This is forbidden; it is not permissible. Al-Rahman (Mighty and Majestic) is approached, and He comes to those who come to Him:Sahih Muslim 2687a This is how it came in the hadith in the Sahih. But "Al-Rahman visits you"! Who are you? Are you Al-Rahman so that you would visit?
He means himself. This is not permissible, and one must forbid it. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and with Your praise I testify that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
