Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Is it correct to say that causes occur without the cause, but we follow the Shari'ah which only commands us to take the causes?
The Shaykh: If I were close to you, I would hit you hard so that you would learn, because the pain is a cause of my hitting you. The Asha'irah say that causes do not have an effect, but they are signs indicating the time when the event occurs.
