Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Images have appeared of seas burning. Can it be said that this is a sign of the miraculous, and that the seas existing now are burning with fire?
Answer:
And Allah knows best, this is a claim made by some people. Who said this? Who said that the seas are burning? This is on the Day of Resurrection, when the seas are kindled on the Day of Resurrection for the establishment of the Hour. As for now, the seas, as you know, are seas of water. The seas are water, not fire, and they have benefits for people: traveling on them, transporting goods, and journeys. If they were burning, people would not be able to travel on them, nor would ships, warships, and vessels be able to move in them. So this appears to be fabricated. Yes.
