Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the interpretation of the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted:
Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.يَمْحُو اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِندَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ
[Ar-Ra'd 13:39]
Does its meaning imply that the divine decree changes? This is regarding the legislations; this is regarding the previous legislations, where Allah abrogates from them what He wills and preserves what He wills. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I always pray the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones). It was said that the verse refers to the scrolls of the record-keepers, which they raise to Allah, so Allah establishes from them what He wills and erases what He wills, the scrolls of the record-keepers. And the first opinion is that it refers to the legislations, the previous legislations, which Allah sets for a specific time, so when the time ends, for every term there is a record.

Answer:
When its term ends, it is abrogated in another book and another legislation, according to the interests of the servants. Yes.
