Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described as a messenger, or as a legislator?
Answer:
He is a messenger from Allah. A legislator means a messenger of the Shari'ah. So he does not[An-Najm 53:3-4]. The legislator is Allah, and the Messenger is a messenger from Allah. But if you are lenient in the expression and say "legislator," there is nothing wrong with that. That is, a legislator in the sense of conveying, legislation in the sense of conveying; it is not legislation in the sense of originating it. Yes.
