Is it permissible to say "Ya Faraj Allah" (O Relief of Allah) when a long-awaited wish comes true, and what should be said in this situation?
It is prescribed for one who receives a blessing or is spared from an affliction to praise Allah and prostrate to Him in gratitude. As for saying "Ya Faraj Allah" (O Relief of Allah), if it is out of joy for Allah's relief without intending supplication, then there is no harm in it. If the intention is to supplicate to Allah to send down His relief, then there is no harm in it, similar to saying "Ya Rahmat Allah" (O Mercy of Allah), which means seeking Allah's help to encompass the servant with His mercy. However, if the intention is to supplicate "Allah's relief" itself, then this is a supplication to an attribute, which is impermissible and considered polytheism ().
