Reliance on Allah and abandoning treatment for the one afflicted with sorcery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the one afflicted with sorcery relies on Allah, does not seek treatment, and is patient with this, intending thereby to raise his rank with Allah, is there any defect in his faith?
Answer:
This is a shortcoming. Allah commanded reliance upon Him and commanded taking the means. So one takes the means along with reliance on Allah the Exalted. One does not take the means and abandon reliance, nor does one take reliance and abandon the means. One combines the two. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
