Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We heard some of the superstitious claim that the Qur'an is incomplete, and they argue for this by saying that the abrogated verse regarding the old man and the old woman if they commit zina... so how do we respond to them?

Answer:
This person denies the abrogating and the abrogated, yet this exists in the Qur'an: there is abrogating and abrogated. The abrogation may be of both the wording and the meaning, or of the wording without the meaning, or of the meaning without the wording. Abrogation varies in type, so it does not mean that there is a deficiency in the Qur'an. The Qur'an that was established, and which we have in our hands after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, is this Qur'an, with no addition and no omission. Yes.
