Scientific Miracles and Using Qur'anic Verses as Evidence for Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on what is called scientific miracles, and using Qur'anic verses as evidence for them?

Answer:
This is conjecture. This is conjecture. It is not permissible to attribute the Qur'an to this, nor to say, "This is the interpretation of the verse." This is not permissible. This is not permissible. It is an innovation with no evidence from the practice of the Salaf or from the statements of the exegetes. The statements of the exegetes are available now. The four methods of interpretation are: interpreting the Qur'an with the Qur'an. If it is not found in the Qur'an, then in the Sunnah. If it is not found in the Sunnah, then in the statement of a Tabi'i. If it is not found in the statement of a Tabi'i, then in the Arabic language in which it was revealed. There is no basis for interpretation other than these four aspects. Scientific miracles, if [they are] an innovation, do not interpret the verses. First, it is an innovation. Second, it is not definitive. It may come, and then something may come after it that invalidates and abrogates it.
They attribute the verse to it, and then it turns out that it is not correct. So this is not permissible.
