Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people, when they fall ill, are told, "If you had gone to the doctor" when the illness becomes severe. Is this included in the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) andSunan Abi Dawud 4699Sahih (Al-Albani)?
Answer:
No, no. Going to the doctor is one of the causes. Allah has commanded the taking of causes. But he goes to the doctor while believing in the divine decree that, if Allah wills, it is a cure, and if He wills, it is not, and that the doctor is merely a cause. Yes.
