The certainty that there will be no healing or provision in worldly matters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, and if this is in worldly matters, such as when someone says, "You will not be healed from this illness," or "You will not be granted a child," or "You will not profit in this business."
Answer:
This is not permissible. Have you gained knowledge of the unseen? First, this is part of the knowledge of the unseen. Second, this causes despair of the mercy of Allah, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Az-Zumar 39:53], [Al-Hijr 15:56].

do not despair of the mercy of Allah
لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِAnd who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلَّا الضَّالُّونَ
