Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we distinguish between seeking refuge, seeking help, and the permissible and forbidden forms of calling for aid?
Answer:
Calling for aid is more specific than seeking help. Calling for aid is only for matters of distress, in times of hardship and difficulty. As for seeking help, it is for easy matters and matters that have not reached the level of distress and hardship. So calling for aid is more specific than seeking help. Yes.
