The claim that the earth revolves and the sun and moon are stationary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to say that the earth revolves and the sun and moon are stationary?
Answer:
This is conjecture and speech from the people themselves. Allah informed us that the sun moves. For this reason, Ibrahim said to Namrud: "Indeed, Allah brings the sun from the east; so bring it from the west." The easts and wests are named so because the celestial bodies rise from them and set in them, indicating that they move. "And the sun runs to its appointed place" means it moves, while the earth is stationary, as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
