The Ruling on Denying the Sun's Orbit Around the Earth

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some modern theories state that the earth revolves around the sun, and the indications of the texts of the Book and the Sunnah point to the fact that it is the sun that revolves around the earth. So, does one who denies this become a disbeliever for contradicting the Book and the Sunnah?

Answer:
One who follows a scholar without knowing his evidence and is ignorant is not declared a disbeliever, but it is said that this is misguidance. As for one who deliberately denies it after the evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah regarding the sun moving across the earth and around the earth has become clear to him, he is declared a disbeliever. The one who prioritizes the theory over the Qur'an is declared a disbeliever. As for one who follows a scholar without knowing his evidence or one who is ignorant, he is considered misguided in his speech. The sun is the one that orbits the earth, and the earth is stationary and stable, and this is something clear and observed.
