Question:
We are still with you live on air. The program's phone number is displayed by the producer on the screen for anyone who wishes to call. Honorable Shaykh, the hadithSunan Ibn Majah 4022Da’if (Darussalam)
Answer:
Yes, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has decreed certain things; if no supplication is made to avert them, they occur—the decree takes place. But if supplication is made, Allah lifts the decree. So these are decrees conditioned on whether supplication is made or not. If supplication is made, it averts the decree by Allah's permission; if it is not made, then the divine decree and destiny take place. Yes.
