Does supplication avert the divine decree and delay death?

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,

Question:
This questioner says: We have heard that nothing averts the divine decree except supplication. Does supplication avert death and delay it? Please give us a ruling, Honorable Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The divine decree is of two kinds: a decreed decree that cannot be changed, and nothing averts it, , and a suspended decree that is averted by supplication and causes. So the suspended one is conditioned on such and such. A decree is suspended on the fact that he was granted offspring by his request for offspring, his turning to Allah, and his exertion in supplication. Allah suspended offspring upon him, so He answered his supplication and his wife became pregnant.
A man’s sustenance was suspended by Allah upon a farm, so he supplicated to Allah to provide for him, to extend his life, and to help him till the land and plant in it. Allah provided for him through the planting, because his sustenance was suspended upon this by the decree of Allah. His sustenance was suspended upon the sea, so when he did that, he found what Allah had suspended upon him. So Allah facilitates the sea for him and makes him work in fishing, in extracting minerals from the sea, and so on of what Allah decreed for him. And another man’s sustenance was suspended upon trade, so Allah prepares him for trade, facilitates its means for him, and clarifies it for him until the suspended thing occurs. And another man’s death was suspended upon a plane he boards that crashes, so when he boards it and it crashes, his death is completed; because it was suspended upon that, and so on.
