Is it considered just for a female to be afflicted with rape, and is this evidence of God's love for her? And why does God leave them without good companionship so that they do not lose hope in His mercy? And what is their fate after blaming God and believing that if He had loved them and wanted Paradise for them, He would not have left them as prey for those who show no mercy?
The questioner's inquiry about the rape of a female and similar forms of injustice stems from the problem of the existence of evil, and whether it contradicts the existence of God and the perfection of His attributes. This is an issue that requires in-depth study of specialized books.
Regarding his question: "Is this love from God?", referring to the concept of tribulation ( ابتلاء), tribulation in this world is evidence of God's will for good for His servant, whether to expiate sins, elevate ranks, or distinguish them. Therefore, whoever is content will receive contentment, and whoever is displeased will receive displeasure.
The clarified that tribulation purifies the servant from sins and increases their ranks, and prompts repentance and supplication to God, which is considered among the greatest blessings.
The fatwa also mentioned that understanding the wisdom behind the existence of evil requires noting the difference between God's absolute knowledge and the servant's limited knowledge, and the importance of looking to the Hereafter as a dwelling of recompense and the establishment of justice, while remembering the immense reward of the patient oppressed person in the Hereafter.
Finally, the fatwa affirmed that blaming Allah Almighty and having ill thoughts about Him is blameworthy, and its ruling differs according to the situation.
