Q. I attended this week a parsha shiur where it was mentioned that Moshe was at fault for questioning Hashem on his promise to help the Jews. How come then we are allowed to ask all kind of questions on what the Torah or Hashem say in the chumash?
A. Rambam, mentions as the first of the Thirteen Principles of Faith (Commentary on the Mishnah, Sanhedrin 10, 1) "I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed be His name, is the Creator and Guide of all the created beings, and that He alone has made, does make, and will make all things". As such we are to believe that everything He does is done for the utmost best and care, and we accept His designs and decisions.
When we pose a question on the events related in the Torah we are not questioning the validity or soundness of Hashem's decrees, rather their meaning and interpretation and that is permitted and encouraged.
