The Difference Between Seeking Refuge and Calling for Aid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, how do we distinguish between seeking refuge and calling for aid?

Answer:
Seeking refuge from something disliked is taking shelter; seeking aid means taking shelter from something to be feared. As for seeking help, it is asking, asking for what is needed, asking for rescue and assistance. Yes.
