Question:
What is the ruling on the one who says, "I rely on Allah, but without action"? Without action.
Answer:
Relying on Allah without action is not sufficient; one must rely on Allah along with action. Yes, the One who commanded you to rely on Him also commanded you to act, which indicates that you cannot do without action. That is, if you say, "I am relying on Allah," and you abandon the actions, this is like the one who takes reliance and leaves the means. One must combine reliance on Allah with taking the means. Yes.
