Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible to apply the term "al-Shari'" to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or is it exclusive to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
It is exclusive to Allah, but the Messenger is a conveyor of the message from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Therefore, the Messenger is described with the term "al-Shari'" because he conveys the Shari'ah that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) legislated. Yes.
