Question:
Some people say that causes do not benefit anything. Shaykh Salih, causes do not benefit anything in themselves, in themselves, but they benefit if Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) wills them to. That is right. May Allah bless you. Is there anything that occurs without a cause, Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has established causes for things. These causes may be apparent or hidden. Nothing occurs without a cause, but this cause may be apparent to us or hidden, such that we do not know about it.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
