We remind the honorable questioner of the principle that all the affairs of a believer are good: if prosperity befalls him, he is grateful, and if adversity befalls him, he is patient. And by His saying, the Almighty: "And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows and you know not."

We also remind her of the greatness of the reward commensurate with the greatness of the trial, and that when Allah loves a people, He tests them. She should be content with Allah's decree and entrust her affairs to Him, and turn to Allah through supplication, for nothing can avert divine decree except it, along with sincere reliance on Allah, having a good opinion of Him, and seeking help from Him, the Exalted.

Furthermore, it is necessary to review the fatwas related to supplications for seeking refuge from poverty and requesting sustenance, and advice for those whose sustenance has become constricted. Finally, the importance of seeking divine guidance (istikharah) and consulting those who offer sincere advice and have experience.
