Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on citing divine decree as an excuse for committing a sin?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is the argument of the disbelievers who argue with Allah that He decreed this thing for them. Do they have any argument in the divine decree? Because Allah gave them the ability, and gave them knowledge and understanding, but they did not use what Allah gave them. Yes.
