Bismillahi Al-Rahmani Al-Rahim
Calling Someone Ayah Q Is it permissible to call someone ayah, or sign, of Allah? A Ibn Rajab referred to Imam Ahmad (Allah have mercy upon him) as an ayah, a diving sign. He did this in his small essay Al-Radd `Ala Man Ittaba` Ghayr Al-Madhahib Al-Arba`. Given Ibn Rajab's standing in the Hanbali madhhab, this strongly implies that this is permissible. And Allah knows best. wa al-salamu `alaykum --musa |
