Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on this phrase, which is saying, “Circumstances forced me”?
Answer:
It is not befitting to attribute this matter to necessity, for this matter is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). One should say, “What happened to me, I did so and so,” and not attribute the matter to necessity.
