The ruling on being dissatisfied with advice that caused a disaster (Questions)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
O Allah, send blessings upon the Prophet. For example, a consultant or partner of a person gave him advice that resulted in a loss or in the death of livestock.

The Shaykh:
Like saying, "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we return."

The questioner:
No, if he is expressing his disapproval of this wrong action, not of Allah.

The Shaykh:
And he says, "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we return." Just as one might get out of a car and slip, or be hit, or stumble himself and fall, one says, "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we return." The advisor may be right or may be wrong. If he is right, it is from the grace of Allah; if he is wrong, it is among the calamities. He says, "Indeed, to Allah..."

The questioner:
A person of experience gave advice.

The Shaykh:
Is the person of experience infallible? No, he is not infallible. A person of experience is not infallible; he may make a mistake.
