Is seeking medical treatment for progeny considered contradictory to patiently enduring trials, given the desire to receive the reward for patience?
Taking the necessary means does not contradict reliance on God () and patience. Allah commanded Mary to shake the trunk of the palm tree so that ripe dates would fall, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded a man to tie his camel and then rely on God. A believer is commanded to be patient in the face of tribulation and to take lawful means, including seeking medical treatment and looking for healing, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged seeking treatment. Therefore, the questioner should rely on Allah and supplicate to Him for provision of offspring, and take the permissible means that will help her achieve that.
