If the questioner, by saying “” (trust/oath), meant to swear an oath, then it is not permissible, because there is a prohibition against swearing by amanah. Scholars have considered it a minor . Whoever is accustomed to saying it should strive to abandon it and should say “La ilaha illa Allah” (There is no god but Allah) if he has sworn by it.
