Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In modern wars, horses are not used. Is the airplane and the tank to be compared to them?
Answer:
These are modern vehicles, but the horse is better than the tank and better than the airplane because it can ascend to places that modern military machinery cannot. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1872a It is used for things in which contemporary military machines are not used. Yes.
