What is the ruling on the phrase "your brother in Allah"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What does he deny?
The questioner : What does he deny?! He hears some of the brothers saying, for example, "So-and-so is your brother in Allah," and he denies this phrase, meaning!
The Shaykh : Why? Ask him why he denies it?!
The questioner : He says: Well, you can say "your brother in Islam" or "your brother in the religion," but you do not say "your brother in Allah," no!
The Shaykh : Ah, yes, this is a valuable observation in reality, because he may not be sincere in his claim that he is a brother in Allah. This is a correct observation, so saying "brother in Islam" is more accurate.
