Question:
He says: What is the more dangerous disease for a servant, desires or doubtful matters? And what is their cure?
Answer:
Yes, doubtful matters. The disease of doubtful matters is more dangerous than the disease of desires, because the disease of doubtful matters relates to creed, whereas the disease of desires relates to what is below shirk (associating partners with Allah) and below creed among the forbidden things. Yes, and both, both are dangerous, but doubtful matters are more severe, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
