I would like to know whether it is true that rizq is predestined and one gets to earn what is in one’s fate.
Answer
God decides a certain volume of sustenance (rizq) for His servant and wants him to search for it. If he does it properly, he gets it. If he doesn’t, he will not get it.
Now, if a person searches for rizq when it is not meant for him, no matter how much he tries, he won’t get it. If a person doesn’t search for a rizq which was meant for him, he will still not get it. For someone to get rizq from God, therefore, two conditions should be met: it should be made available by God for him and he should search for it in the right manner.
