The Ruling on Crying Due to Illness and Discussing It with Others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The sister who used the initials A - A from Riyadh says in her question: I am ill, and sometimes I cry over my condition after my illness. Does this crying mean objecting to Allah and being dissatisfied with His decree? This action is beyond my control. Also, does discussing the illness with close ones fall under this?
A: There is no blame on you for crying if it is only with tears in the eyes and not with a voice; for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when his son Ibrahim died:Sahih al-Bukhari 1303 And there are many hadiths in this meaning. There is also no blame on you for informing your relatives and friends of your illness, along with praising Allah, thanking Him, extolling Him, asking Him for health, and resorting to permissible means.
We advise you to be patient and to seek reward from Allah, and we congratulate you on the good news, due to the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Surah al-Zumar: 10] and His saying (Mighty and Majestic): "Those who, when a calamity strikes them, say: 'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the guided." [Surah al-Baqarah: 155-157], and due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Muwatta Malik 50:7 We ask Allah to grant you healing, well-being, and rectification of the heart and deeds, for He is the All-Hearing, the Responsive.
A: There is no blame on you for crying if it is only with tears in the eyes and not with a voice; for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when his son Ibrahim died:
The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation.
العين تدمع والقلب يحزن ولا نقول إلا ما يرضي الرب وإنا لفراقك يا إبراهيم لمحزونونWe advise you to be patient and to seek reward from Allah, and we congratulate you on the good news, due to the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account."
إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍAnd give good tidings to the patient
وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ No sorrow, grief, hardship, or illness, or even a thorn, strikes a Muslim except that Allah expiates his sins thereby.
لا يصيب المسلم هم ولا غم ولا نصب ولا وصب وهو المرض ولا أذى حتى الشوكة إلا كفر الله بها من خطاياهAllah afflicts the one for whom He desires good.
من يرد الله به خيرا يصب منه
