Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Does supplication change the divine decree?
Answer:
It does not change the divine decree, but it averts the divine decree if Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) wills, because the divine decree includes something that is tied to a cause. If the cause is present, the decreed matter occurs; if the cause is not present, the decreed matter does not occur.
