The Ruling on Abandoning the Means or Relying on Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that came in on the program's phone is this one: What is the ruling on abandoning the means or relying on them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to abandon the means, and it is not permissible to rely on them alone. Rather, one must combine two things: reliance upon Allah and taking the means. So we do not limit ourselves to reliance upon Allah and abandon the beneficial means, nor do we take the means and abandon reliance upon Allah. One must combine the two. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you
