The Writing of Sustenance and Children in the Preserved Tablet

Question:
He says: Shaykh, is sustenance, whether money or children, written down like a person's lifespan, such that it cannot be exceeded? Or does one obtain money according to his work, trade, and method of earning, whether through lawful or unlawful means, and likewise children?

Answer:
Seeking children and marriage, as well as striving to earn money, these are causes, these are causes, but they do not occur except by the estimation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is known, as in the authentic hadith, that the angel comes to him and writes this for this newborn: is this a male or a female, alive, wretched or happy, male or female. He writes his lifespan and also writes his sustenance. He writes upon him the divine decree and destiny. He writes on his forehead what has been decreed for him in the Preserved Tablet. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
