The questioner:
Fear can fall under shirk (associating partners with Allah).
The Shaykh:
What? The fear of idols, the fear of the Qur'an, the fear of stars—this is shirk. But the fear of theft, locking the door, this is not it.
The questioner:
He fears from people, for example.
The Shaykh:
If they have causes, they fear the unjust ruler, they fear the road that someone might block on the road, so he does not take a weapon and takes precautions and stays away from the causes of evil.
The questioner:
If Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
If the fear has causes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
