Patience with affliction or removing it through treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is patience with an affliction after it has befallen one, such as an illness, preferable to removing it?
The Shaykh:
Removing it is the guidance. The one who removes the illness is none but Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
But if one says, "What is my treatment?" or "Is there no treatment for me?" However, the one who is treated—praise be to Allah—should seek treatment, but not with what is forbidden. Yes.
