Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to say "Allah and His Messenger know best" when a person is ignorant of something? And is this said in matters of religion, or even in matters of this world?
Answer:
This was said during the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); they would say "Allah and His Messenger know best." When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, they would say "Allah knows best." "Allah knows best" is said in every matter of religion or regarding the Messenger that one does not know; in anything one does not know, one says "Allah knows best."
