What do we do if a plague descends and we find no cure for it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He said: You should have patience.
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. When a disease descends, plagues strike the people, and this happens. Treatment is required if there is a cure, for Allah did not send down a disease without sending down a cure for it. Treatment is required if it is effective. If the treatment does not benefit you, have patience. Have patience and do not be distressed when this happens. Have patience, and Allah will choose for you what He wills.
The questioner:
Or he said: Be patient.
The Shaykh:
He has patience, yes.
