The Effect of Complaining About a Calamity on the Reward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah bless you. This questioner says: If a believer is struck by a great calamity in his life and he complains about it, does he lose the reward entirely, or is it diminished?
Answer:
If he does not speak out and does not express dissatisfaction, then this does not harm him. The fact that he feels pain about it inside himself, without complaining or expressing dissatisfaction, does not harm him, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
