The questioner:
And in the continuation of his question, he asks: What is the response to those who say that the statement of those who prevailed over the people of the cave,[Al-Kahf 18:21], was also not followed by a rebuke from Allah?
The Shaykh:
[Al-Kahf 18:21], meaning they seized it by their authority, and the fact that they imposed this by their authority is a condemnation of them. Allah condemned them for this regarding their matter. This is a condemnation of them, because they did this by their authority and power, not by a religious command. But this person who says this does not understand or comprehend what he is saying.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
"Those who prevailed over their matter" is sufficient. This is a condemnation of them for doing this by their authority, power, and coercion. Yes.
And in the continuation of his question, he asks: What is the response to those who say that the statement of those who prevailed over the people of the cave,
We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًاThe Shaykh:
Said those who prevailed in the matter
قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْThe presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
"Those who prevailed over their matter" is sufficient. This is a condemnation of them for doing this by their authority, power, and coercion. Yes.
