What is the ruling on objecting to the divine decree of Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman has been married for nearly twenty-seven years and has not borne any children. She often resorts to crying in her room, thinks a great deal, and wants to become ascetic regarding this worldly life. She asks: Is this objecting to the divine decree of Allah?

Answer:
Answer: If she does not complain, then this is not objecting to the divine decree of Allah. And if she cries, it has no effect, because it is not within a person's control to prevent it. However, if she complains and becomes distressed, this is not permissible, whether regarding the loss of children, the inability to bear children, or regarding calamities. It is not permissible to complain about the divine decree and destiny of Allah. Therefore, a person should be content with the divine decree and destiny of Allah and strive through the beneficial means. For example, bearing children has causes, such as medical treatment. So the Muslim should seek out the means by which bearing children is achieved. If this inability to bear children is due to an illness or a known obstacle that doctors can treat, then let him do so. Yes.
