Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It was previously stated with us that arrogance in a servant is blameworthy if it is without right.
Answer:
No, and it is not except without right. Arrogance in a created being is not except blameworthy without right. That is, he has no right to be arrogant while he is weak and in need of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So it is not said that arrogance is not blameworthy in a created being except if it is without right; it is always without right. Yes.
