Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted[Ar-Rum 30:30] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Sahih al-Bukhari 1385, is it taken from this, or is it understood from this, that the fitrah is evidence for the establishment of the argument?
Answer:
The fitrah is receptive to the truth, as we mentioned. We said it is like fertile soil; if rain falls on good soil, it accepts it, grows, and retains water for people. This is unlike corrupt soil, which neither retains water nor grows. Both are as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) likened them. Yes.
