The Difference Between Dislike and Finding Something Heavy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh, may he be of good character, asks: If a person performs a good deed, such as prayer or fasting, while finding it burdensome, is his deed preserved? And is there a difference between finding the deed burdensome and drinking?

Answer:
It is not dislike. Dislike is when a person hates a thing and does not love it; dislike is the opposite of love. As for finding something heavy, a person may love a thing, but it is heavy for him despite his love for it. The ruling of the soul and human nature is that it is difficult for you. And it is difficult for him. Yes. So there is a scope between the soul finding it heavy and the emptiness of wisdom. Yes. With it, because it was difficult for them, so they sought a dispensation for it due to its difficulty and danger, and this did not necessitate their apostasy. Yes.
