A book attributed to Daniel titled *The Drawing of Lots of the Prophets*
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A small booklet has spread in Makkah al-Mukarramah, distributed in photocopied form, titled: (*Ghayat al-Amniyyah*), also known as (*The Drawing of Lots of the Prophets*), attributed to the Prophet of Allah, Daniel (peace be upon him), as its imprint claims. I have noticed that a group of the people of innovation and the Sufis are interested in distributing this photocopied booklet. I have also noticed in it many violations of the Shari'ah in terms of wording and belief. I hope you will look into it with the eye of a knowledgeable, competent scholar and issue a Shari'ah ruling that clarifies the status of this book and the purpose of its distribution, in order to warn people of what is in it. May Allah preserve you and care for you.
A: It is not permissible to publish, photocopy, or distribute this mentioned booklet, and it is obligatory to destroy any existing copies; because it contains a claim of knowledge of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. It is obligatory for the Muslim to seek help from Allah and rely upon Him, and not to pay attention to what is mentioned in this booklet, in order to protect his creed from defect.
