Is it permissible to say that this matter happened by chance?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: What is your opinion of a person who, when he sees something, says, "I saw such a thing by chance," or "I did such a thing by chance"?

Answer:
It is not appropriate to express it as "by chance," because there is nothing here that is by chance; everything is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and everything is predestined. However, he does not intend this. The most likely case is that he does not intend that this thing was not predestined. If he does intend this, then it is disbelief. But if he does not intend this, and his intention is only that he did not see it while he was not... and he was not... he was not expecting that he would see it. It is by chance for him, but it is not by chance for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Rather, it is by chance for him because he did not think that he would meet it or that he would see it. In that case, there is nothing wrong with it; it does not reach the level of denying the divine decree. But it is better to leave off using this expression. Yes.
