Question:
He says: May Allah reward you, what is the extent of the truth of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab burying his daughter alive in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance? This has spread, so is this correct?
Answer:
My brother, the pre-Islamic age of ignorance contained shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is greater than burying daughters alive. It contained the worship of idols, which is greater than burying daughters alive. In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they did ugly things, among which was burying daughters alive, and greater than that was shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But Islam demolishes what came before it; Islam demolishes what came before it, and praise be to Allah. And the migration demolishes what came before it.
