Is the committing of a sin by a servant predetermined for him beforehand?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Everything in existence, good and evil, is predetermined before creation. Among the decrees of Allah Almighty are the sins committed by His servant, as Adam argued with Moses, saying: "Do you blame me for a matter that Allah had decreed for me before He created me?" Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim. However, this predetermination does not negate the servant's free choice in their actions.
