Does fear for one's children, out of compassion for them, contradict reliance upon Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does fear for one's children and thinking about them while they are absent, out of compassion for them, contradict reliance upon Allah?

Answer:
No, there is no contradiction in reliance upon Allah here. This is natural fear. A person fears the lion and fears the enemy, and this does not harm him. It is natural fear.
