Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on this statement that a person rejoices when trials (fitan) come, because they distinguish between those who stand firm and those who turn back?
Answer:
No, one does not rejoice in trials. The Muslim does not rejoice in trials; he seeks refuge in Allah from them. He does not rejoice in them, but when they come, he is patient and knows that Allah has a wisdom in them. Yes.
