Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one of the divine decrees, such as earthquakes, storms, or fires, befalls the Muslims, and there are among them people who commit sins, should one feel sad for their sorrow? And if people of luxury come to one, rejoicing in their luxury, which leads them to sin, should one rejoice in their luxury?
Answer:
A Muslim feels pain for his Muslim brothers, whoever they are and wherever they are; he feels pain for them. If disasters strike people among the Muslims, even if they are a minority alongside disbelievers, he feels pain for the Muslims, he feels pain for the Muslims, and he seeks mercy for them, asks forgiveness for them, and prays for them, specifically for the Muslims, because they are his brothers. Yes.
