Question:
If a person is afflicted with a trial, and he calls upon his Lord during it and weeps, is that considered despair and a lack of patience?
Answer:
This is not despair. Weeping is something a person cannot prevent; rather, it is softness in the heart, and it may be a state of humility during supplication. What is prohibited is despair and complaining, and raising one's voice in despair and complaining. This is what is forbidden. Yes.
