As-salāmu ʿalaykum, Shaykh. I avoid saying 'lucky' as I know it's not ideal Islamically, but sometimes 'blessed' doesn’t seem to fit certain situations (like close calls or unexpected outcomes). Is there a better word to use that aligns with our beliefs? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

Lucky if u mean Allah has given him a great portion of something is allowed in sha'a Allah.
