Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, how do we reconcile His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He,[At-Takathur 102:8] with the noble verse in His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He, [Al-A'raf 7:32]
Answer:
There is no contradiction between them, my brother, because it is not permissible to forbid what is lawful,[Al-Ma'idah 5:87], so it is not permissible to forbid what is lawful; this is forbidden. As for [At-Takathur 102:8], meaning if you do not give thanks for the blessing, you will be held accountable for it. This applies to the one who did not give thanks for the blessing.
This questioner says: Shaykh, how do we reconcile His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He,
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِSay, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?"
قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِAnswer:
There is no contradiction between them, my brother, because it is not permissible to forbid what is lawful,
do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you
لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْThen you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
