Many years ago in Samara there was literally an invasion by hordes of scorpions. They started emerging from every hole and crevice, every door and window. All the students fled from the schools. One student did an Istakhara whether he could stay put in the school. Somehow, the Istakhara came out favorable for staying. Therefore the student stayed on at the madrassa. He slept there in the night. In the morning his cortege had be taken out from the premises.

This is an ignorant act that in the name of Tawakkal, expose oneself to danger. The right thing would have been to flee from the place of danger in Tawakkal of Allah.

As Tawakkal is necessary, so is the effort to earn a livelihood is necessary. Similarly putting ones conscience in danger too is Haram. Allah issues His Orders through the circumstances. Sometimes He does it without any recourse to circumstances to prove His Omnipotence!
