Summary
Destiny that is muqayyad or muallaq (conditional) can change, based on the Prophet's hadith that decree is not repelled except through supplication. A mubram decree, however, is fixed and does not change. The answer refers readers to the discussion of the pillar of faith on Qada' and Qadar.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika takdir muqayyad atau muallaq, maka boleh berlaku berdasarkan hadis Nabi SAW: "Tidak ditolak qada' kecuali dengan doa." Tetapi jika qada' mubram, ia adalah tetap.
