Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) “our religion is one,” what does “different mothers” mean?
Answer:
They are from different mothers. “Different mothers” means they are from different mothers; their father is one, but their mothers are multiple. So it is with the prophets: their religion is one, but their laws are multiple. This is by way of analogy. Yes.
