Question:
What is the ruling on relying on causes? And what is the ruling of the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding abandoning the reliance on causes?
Answer:
Taking hold of causes is necessary; it is a command from Allah. "Take your precautions and take up your weapons" in the prayer of fear. So taking hold of causes is commanded, and it is not permissible to abolish it. As for relying on them, it is not permissible. One relies on Allah and places trust in Allah, combining the taking of the beneficial cause with reliance on Allah in achieving the intended goal. Yes.
