The Ruling on Relying on Causes Along with Reliance upon Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I always take the necessary measures in all my affairs, so what is the ruling on relying on causes?
Answer:
It is obligatory to take the necessary measures while having reliance upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). One must combine both matters: he does not take the measures and leave off reliance upon Allah, nor the reverse, where he relies on Allah and leaves off the measures. Rather, both are obligatory; this is what is prescribed. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
