Case: A person commits a prohibited act and argues that, because it occurred under Allah’s will, Allah must also approve of it.
Divine will concerns what occurs; divine approval concerns what is pleasing. The occurrence of disobedience does not make it lawful. What Allah prohibits remains forbidden even when a person commits it.
For a sinful act, three questions stay distinct: what happened, what revealed law says about it, and what repentance and accountability require of the servant.
