Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Another questioner asks: What are the safeguards against trials and desires? How does one attain them, and how does a Muslim protect himself from them?
Answer:
The safeguards against trials and desires are to avoid them and stay away from them, and to stay away from their people, the people of trials and the companions of trials. One does not sit with them or feel at ease with them. Likewise, one stays away from forbidden desires, does not sit with their people, and guards against them after learning beneficial knowledge by which he knows what the trials are and what is forbidden, so that he avoids them with insight. Yes.
