Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, fear is a type of worship that is only for Allah, so how is one to be guided regarding fear of the enemy, the lion, and the like?
Answer:
This is natural fear, fear of the enemy, the lion, the cold, the heat, and harmful things. A person is not held accountable for this, because it is not accompanied by shadow or love; it is natural fear, not worship. Yes.
