Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on saying that Allah stripped the fire of its burning and changed its nature when Ibrahim was thrown into it?

The Shaykh:
He said to it, "O Fire, be cool," meaning he replaced the heat and the fuel with
be coolness and safety upon Abraham."كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
[Al-Anbya 21:69]
, so He removed its heat and made it cold. And He is capable of everything.

The questioner:
And he also said that Allah stripped the knife of its cutting property when Allah commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice Isma'il,

The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son, so he sacrificed—this means he laid him down on his forehead and ran the knife over his hand, but it did not cut, because Allah prevented it from cutting, and the intended purpose was achieved, which is that Ibrahim obeyed the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.

The presenter:
Allah sent to you, Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says.

The Shaykh:
And Ibrahim saw in the vision, meaning that Allah commanded him to sacrifice Isma'il. This was a vision he saw, and the visions of the prophets are true, so he wanted to carry out the vision.
indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice youإِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ
[As-Saffat 37:102]
The visions of the prophets are true revelation.
He said, "O my father, do asقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا
[As-Saffat 37:102]
Look, the son also.
You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ
[As-Saffat 37:102]
. He said, "Will you find me among the patient?" He said, "If Allah wills."
You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ
[As-Saffat 37:102]
. So when he submitted, he submitted to Allah, he surrendered the matter to Allah, and he prostrated his forehead to the ground.
(104) We called to him, "O Abraham, (105) You have fulfilled the vision.وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَن يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا
[As-Saffat 37:104-105]
. The desired outcome was achieved. The vision was true, and the desired outcome was achieved, and nothing remained but the slaughter. The slaughter would have been of no benefit. Yes.
