Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Are the Children of Israel the Jews, or is there a difference between them?

Answer:
The Jews are among the Children of Israel; the Jews are from the Children of Israel. There are Jews who are not from the Children of Israel but have entered Judaism, and they are not from the Children of Israel. Likewise, there are Christians who are not from the Children of Israel but have entered Christianity. However, the origin of the Jews is the Children of Israel, and whoever follows their religion is a Jew who follows them. Yes.
