Question:
May Allah keep you safe. The questioner, Salih Jabir from Jazan, asks about reliance upon Allah (tawakkul) along with taking the means. What is the ruling on that? Is this what is obligatory?
Answer:
Yes, the obligatory thing is to combine the two: reliance upon Allah along with taking the beneficial means. This is the correct path. One does not take reliance upon Allah and leave the means, nor does one take the means and leave reliance upon Allah. Rather, one must combine them. Yes.
