Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this response correct? It is a response to the Jabriyyah and the Qadariyyah. We say: Why do you go out to seek sustenance and marry to seek children? Rather, sit in your homes and the sustenance and children will come to you. Is this a correct response?
Answer:
There is no doubt that this is a decisive and binding response. As long as you say that we rely on divine decree and destiny and that what is apportioned will come to us, then sit and do not eat, so that you do not extend your hands for food. If it were a lie, Allah would have intended for you a life. Do you want a life and not eat? This is a way of compelling them. Yes.
