Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that in a radio interview with one of the intellectuals, when he was asked about his wish, he said, "I wish the scientists would discover a cure for death." The question is: Is there a flaw in the creed in this wish, because it is an objection to a matter that Allah the Exalted has decreed for creation?
Answer:
This is bad and ugly speech, so it is not to be accepted or tolerated. It does not appear to be the speech of a fool.
