Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Ali sent a message to Your Eminence, O Shaykh, saying: A Muslim is afflicted with worries, sorrows, and a tightness of the chest, especially if he suffers a financial setback. What is the treatment in your view, in light of the Book and the Sunnah?
Answer:
The treatment is mentioned by Allah in His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:155-156] So the divine decree has no repeller except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Therefore, one must submit to the divine decree and destiny, while doing the beneficial causes. The Muslim combines faith in the divine decree with doing the beneficial causes, because Allah has commanded that. Yes.

وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
