Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are all the prophets infallible in general, or only in what they convey from Allah?
The Shaykh:
We hold that all the prophets are infallible in what they convey from Allah, and they are protected from major sins, from the major sins. The disagreement is only regarding minor sins. Nothing occurred from any of the prophets among the minor sins except that it was accompanied by repentance, Allah’s acceptance of their repentance and their seeking forgiveness. Follow this in the Qur’an and you will find it.
The questioner:
He says: I understood.
The Shaykh:
They are infallible, either at the beginning or at the end. The prophets are infallible, either at the beginning or at the end. Yes.
