Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And is there a difference, O Sami, Your Excellency the Shaykh, between istighathah (calling for aid) and seeking help?
Answer:
Istighathah is greater than seeking help, because istighathah does not occur except in times of distress and severity, whereas supplication is broad and occurs in all circumstances. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
