Is there no solution but that we remain (shut up in our houses)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is no solution; is there any solution now other than staying in the houses?
The Shaykh : There is no solution,[Ar-Ra'd 13:11] And then, my brother, these are natural consequences, like a person who neglected his physical health, and his health went back, back, back, back, until he reached the final point. No doctor and no treatment can return him to his original health; that is contrary to the decree of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Likewise, spiritual or moral matters: when a person continues to decline, it is difficult for him to return. And even if he does, and it is necessary, like some patients who reach the lowest point, then by divine power he gradually begins to recede and regain his health and vitality, but this is rare, and the rare case has no ruling. We seek help from Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : There is no solution,
Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.
إنّ الله لا يغيّر ما بقوم حتّى يغيّروا ما بأنفسهم و إذا أراد الله بقوم سوء فلا مردّ له و ما لهم من دونه من والThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
