What does the one seeking guidance say if the two options are equal for him at 50%?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, may I ask the last question?
The Shaykh : I am sorry that it is the last one.
The questioner : A student who has graduated or passed from the first year of secondary school, and now wants to enter the second year of secondary school, either science or literature, but he does not lean toward one; he has no inclination toward either, fifty percent fifty percent. So how should the wording of his prayer for guidance be? What does he say in the supplication?
The Shaykh : What I understand from your question is that he has no concern; therefore, there is no prayer for guidance for him or upon him. If my understanding is correct, then the answer is correct, and if my understanding is not correct, correct it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner : It is just that he is confused and he needs the prayer for guidance because he is confused.
The Shaykh : No, the prayer for guidance does not remove confusion. The prayer for guidance is after a person resolves to do something. So here, the prayer for guidance comes to remove doubt and suspicion in a matter. It is not prescribed for a Muslim who has not resolved to do it. Did I make the answer clear to you?
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh. I will introduce myself at the end. I am the husband of the granddaughter ofThe Shaykh : Muhammad Amin al-Misri (may Allah have mercy on him), and my name is Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, may Allah have mercy on him, and may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, and peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings and His forgiveness. They do not say goodbye when parting, but these, what Allah willed, are students of knowledge; as soon as they hear the hadith, they act upon it.
