Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are there lands other than our land that have inhabitants?
Answer:
Our land has seven layers. Our land contains seven layers, and each layer has inhabitants. Allah knows best about them, because the word "like them" in His saying[At-Talaq 65:12] implies that the earth is seven. This is stated explicitly in the hadith, as in his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in the authentic hadith: "Whoever seizes a span of the earth without right Sahih Muslim 1610d." Yes.
