The Ruling on Seeking Refuge from Trials
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the Shaykh, the distinguished scholar Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, this question asks: Is it prescribed to seek refuge from all trials, or only from the misleading trials?
Answer:
From the evils of trials and from the misleading trials. Otherwise, wealth is a trial and children are a trial; indeed, your wealth and your children are a trial. So we seek refuge from the evil of trials, not from the trials themselves. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of trials. Yes.
