The Meaning of a Conditional Decree

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, the meaning of a conditional decree is, for example, in one’s grasp.

Answer:
For instance, if a disease strikes and you call upon Allah to cure you of it, that is conditional. If you neglect the supplication, it will afflict you; if you make the supplication, Allah will protect you from it. All things that have causes: if you perform them, Allah will ward off harm from you. If you perform the causes of prevention, Allah will ward off harm from you. And if you neglect the causes of prevention, you may be afflicted with harm, because you neglected them. Yes. Yes. To you.
It is required that you do this thing, and that Allah averts this thing from you. Maintaining family ties, for example, maintaining family ties, charity—these avert various types of tribulation. If you do them, it may be that Allah has decreed that you do them and you are thereby protected from that thing. And if you do not do them, harm befalls you due to your negligence and negligence.
