Ruling on writing the Basmala and some verses in letters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a letter reached the program from one of the female listeners. The sender, (B. A.) from Riyadh, says about herself: It is my habit to write "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" and to praise the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in my letters to my family and friends. The letters also contain some verses or words of supplication. In recent days, I have been overcome by the feeling that I should never write the Name of Allah again, knowing that since I started writing my letters in this last manner, I have felt that the letter is incomplete and has a clear defect. The reason for this feeling is that I fear I may be sinful if the letter is placed in an inappropriate place or is lost. What should I do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Your first action, the first action, is the best and most excellent. Write "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," and write some verses, or the salutations upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and some advice. It does not harm you if those who read them throw them in an unsuitable place; the sin is upon them, not upon you. The sin is upon the one who throws the letter, or the book, or the benefit in an inappropriate place; the sin is upon him.
As for you, you are rewarded if you mention Allah at the beginning, and you send salutations upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or praise Allah, or mention some beneficial verses, or some hadiths. It is all good, and you are rewarded. And as for the one who throws it in an unsuitable place, the sin is upon him, not upon you. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
