Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a person, when something becomes difficult for him, to say, “I place my reliance on the Ever-Living Who does not die”?
Answer:
Yes, he should place his reliance on Him, and he should also exert the means. Along with reliance, exert the means. We have said that reliance alone without taking the means is not sufficient, and taking the means without reliance is not sufficient. It is necessary to combine them. Yes.
