Explaining the categories of intending an evil without acting on it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But if one intends an evil without acting on it, does it count as an action or not? We say that if a person intends an evil and does not commit it, he either leaves it for the sake of Allah, or leaves it because he is unable to do it, or leaves it because he has a distaste for it after having intended it. So what are the categories?
