Making Effort to Seek Livelihood

Your Eminence! He complains a lot about his economic situation, as he says?
The answer: Praise be to Allah. You, my brother, must be patient and take the necessary measures. Praise be to Allah, perhaps this is better for you. It is mentioned in some divine reports that the Lord says: So you must take the necessary measures. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the Creator of the causes. So you must strive to seek sustenance through any permissible work you do, such as trade, buying, and selling, or working for someone where permissible work is available, or a job if a permissible one becomes available. Praise be to Allah, you take the measures, seek help from Allah, and ask Him for sustenance from Him (Exalted and Majestic is He). There is no harm in taking zakah from those who are entitled to give it if you are unable and nothing becomes available to meet your needs. There is no harm in taking zakah, nor in spending zakah on you when you are unable to meet your needs. Allah is the One to be sought for help, and He is the close friend of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The presenter: May Allah bless you. So, what about the vows of sacrifice in this situation? Do they fall off him given his economic situation, Your Eminence?
Answer: No, it remains a suspended debt, a suspended debt like other debts.
The presenter: And if he cannot afford it, is there no harm?
The Shaykh: He owes nothing. If he dies and was unable to pay, if Allah makes something available in the estate, the heirs pay it on his behalf. If he left no estate, it is dropped. Yes.
