Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about the one who believes that earthquakes are from Allah due to the sins of the servants, but attributes their causes to some natural phenomena?
Answer:
Natural phenomena are a cause of madness. I mean, the natural phenomena that occur in the universe are a cause of sins, yes. He did not call them natural; he called them signs. My brothers, the expression of the Qur'an and the expression of the Sunnah is soundness. Do not call them natural phenomena; call them signs[Al-Isra 17:59] Yes, so they are among the signs, yes.
