Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In this time, when a baby is born and has some defects, such as a hole in his heart or his eye, or something like that, they say he is afflicted with congenital defects. Is this term correct?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. "Congenital" means that Allah created him this way, that Allah created him this way, with a deficiency in his creation. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is capable of all things. This occurs as a trial and test. This happens in some of the created beings; He places in them some deficiency as a test and trial for their parents. So this is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and it is the creation of Allah, with a congenital deficiency. There is nothing wrong with using this expression. Yes, meaning the deficiency may be physical in the body, or the deficiency may be moral in terms of uprightness and manliness.

May Allah reward you with good,
