The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh. I have a problem that keeps me from sleeping, day or night, out of fear of Allah’s punishment, and I ask the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, to help you in answering it: To summarize what he says: He works in one of the banks, he is married, he has two children, he is living in a rented apartment, he has debts of seventy thousand, he is suffering from kidney failure, he traveled extensively for treatment but it was not successful, and he is currently working in this bank and cannot leave it because of what he has mentioned. What is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh : This is a question that a person asked me this afternoon. But there is no harm if it is made public, so I will say to this afflicted person: If he fears Allah the Exalted, Allah will make ease for him in his affair. If he leaves working in the bank, then Allah, Glorified and Exalted, may make things easy for him, cure him of what has befallen him, and save him from much evil. And whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it with something better. Yes.
