Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between balaa' (affliction) and ibtilaa' (trial)?

Answer:
Balaa' is the evil that occurs, while ibtilaa' is presenting this evil to a person as a trial; that is, presenting this matter to him or enabling him to do it. Yes.
