And if you say: "The Creator saw good for him in his blindness so He blinded him, just as when a doctor sees a limb corrupting the body, he amputates it; and just as the doctor prevents the child from Faludhaj (a sweet starch pudding) and feeds him Ihlilaj (bitter Myrobalan fruit) because of the benefit he sees for him in that." Then this is the very essence of fallacy and slander. For the doctor amputates that limb for fear that it will corrupt the whole body because it is a corrupt limb, and he feeds him Ihlilaj due to the symptom afflicting him.

But in this [case of the child], there is no such corruption nor symptoms that blindness would benefit or prevent.

And what equity is there regarding the poor man who is born and grows up unable to satisfy [his hunger with] bread, while another like him has slaves and abundant provision?

And if you say: "Allah knew of him that if He created him with sound eyes, he would commit forbidden acts, and if He created him with sound legs, he would strive upon the earth in corruption."
