Contentment with Divine Decree and the Decreed, and the Act of the Murderer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a man kills another man, we are content with the decree of Allah, but the act that was decreed is not something for which contentment is obligatory, nor is it recommended; rather, contentment with the act of the murderer is forbidden. Is this understanding correct, O our Shaykh, regarding this issue?
Answer:
You heard the statement on this: what is from Allah is pleasing, and what is from the servant, the act of the servant, if it is disobedience, it is hated. Disobedience, disbelief, injustice, and transgressing against people are hated, and it is not permissible to be content with them; it is not forbidden to be content with them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
