2802 Does believing what astronomers say affect the creed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does believing what is reported from the observatories and weather conditions regarding the climate affect the creed?
Answer:
Whoever asserts it with certainty affects the creed, but as for those who make predictions, they predict; they do not assert this with certainty. They say it is predicted that such and such will happen based on signs in the sky that they know and measurements they know in the instruments and observation. These are predictions, and not announcing them is better. There is no doubt that it does not confuse people, but if they do announce them, we do not say that this affects the creed because they did not assert it with certainty.
