The ruling on a patient’s groaning and complaining without screaming or dissatisfaction

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner also mentions in her last question, saying: that she is a weak and sick woman, and she often feels severe pain, and sometimes she says: the pain prevents me from sleeping, or from finding comfort in prayer, or from finding comfort in general life, but sometimes the pain increases, so I become irritated, and I sigh from this life, and even I cry. Does this action indicate that I am dissatisfied with the divine decree and destiny? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no blame in that, as mentioned before, there is no blame, as mentioned in the answer to the previous question. If something painful befalls her and it is difficult for her, there is no blame in irritation, or something like that, or saying "O my head!" or "O my side!" or "O my face!" There is nothing wrong with it. But what is forbidden is screaming, screaming, or striking the faces, and tearing the clothes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He is not one of us (one among the Ummah of Islam) who beat the cheeks or tore the front opening of the shirt or uttered the slogans of (the days of) Jahiliya (ignorance).ليس منا من ضرب الخدود، أو شق الجيوب، أو دعا بدعوى الجاهلية
Sahih Muslim 103a
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I have no concern with one with whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has no concern, Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has no concern with that woman who wails loudly, shaves her hair and tears (her garment in grief).أنا بريء من الصالقة والحالقة والشاقة
Sahih Muslim 104a
The "sāliqah" is the one who raises her voice at the time of calamity, the "hāliqah" is the one who shaves her hair at the time of calamity, and the "shāqah" is the one who tears her clothes at the time of calamity. This is what is forbidden. As for her becoming irritated, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt pain in his head, he said:
O my headوارأساه
There is no blame. And Aisha said: "O my head!" All of this is permissible. It is permissible for a person to say: I complain of the severe heat of the fever, or I complain of such and such an illness, or such and such an illness. It is permissible for his eye to water, for him to cry without screaming, and without wailing. All of this is without blame, and praise be to Allah. There is a relief for the sick person. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
