Reliance on Allah and Taking the Means
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling, Shaykh Salih, on taking the means? Does it contradict complete reliance on Allah? And what is the meaning of reliance?
Answer:
Reliance is entrusting matters to Allah[Al-Ma'idah 5:23]. Reliance does not contradict taking the means; rather, it is necessary to combine the two. One takes the beneficial means and relies on Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for the attainment of the intended goal. Yes.
