Does the earth rotate or is it stationary?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If the Al-Bayt al-Ma'mur (the Frequented House) is exactly opposite the Al-Bayt al-Haram (the Sacred House) on earth, is it still so when the earth rotates on its axis?
Answer:
This idea of the earth rotating comes from you. Who said it rotates? Did it come down in the Qur'an? Did it come in the authentic Sunnah that it rotates? This is the statement of geographers, and their statement is not relied upon.
