Is it permissible for a man to say to his wife, "You are my soul and my life," knowing that the soul belongs to Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
When a husband says to his wife, "You are my soul and my life," he does not intend the literal meaning of the words, but rather seeks to express his love for her and her importance to him. Therefore, there is no harm in uttering this phrase with this understanding.
