Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Noble City of Makkah, a questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have worked hard in trade, but I have not been successful. What are the causes of the scarcity of provision and the cessation of provision? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
You must obey Allah the Exalted in seeking provision, and you must also seek lawful provision through permissible and prescribed means. Do not despair of the mercy of Allah.
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allahوَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
Seek provision, and if you fail once, do not despair that Allah the Exalted will grant you success the next time. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
