To what extent does a person patiently endure injustice, and is continued patience amidst severe suffering considered a [rewardable] form of endurance or an incapacity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty will take revenge on behalf of the oppressed. Therefore, the oppressed woman must continue to be patient, seeking her reward from Allah, renewing her repentance, and striving to remove the injustice through ordinary means. Islam encourages patience and forgiveness, while preserving the right to defend oneself and demand one's rights. If she is afflicted by despair, she should resort to supplication.
