Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You are asking whether crying as a result of psychological pressure is considered a contradiction of patience and an objection to divine decree and destiny?
The Shaykh : It is not considered an objection to divine decree and destiny, nor is it dissatisfaction with divine decree and destiny, because this is something dictated by nature and not by human choice. For this reason, you will find a man who passes by a verse from the Book of Allah at one time and weeps out of fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), yet when he reads the same verse at another time, it does not move him at all. So, it is not by human choice.
You will find a person who is patient, resolute, and strong, but when a calamity from the times befalls him, he weeps as if he were a child, even though he does not like this. So, if a person cries due to a distress that has befallen him, there is no blame on him for this. It is not an objection to destiny, but rather a natural matter that a person cannot prevent nor bring about.
