Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is there a difference between acting on preponderant probability and acting on doubt?

Answer:
Yes, preponderant probability takes the place of certainty, whereas doubt is hesitation; one does not know which of the two sides is more likely.
