Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the title al-Masih is applied to 'Isa (peace be upon him). What is the meaning of that?
Answer:
That is so, and Allah knows best. It means that he wipes over the afflicted part of a person who has a defect; when he wipes over it, Allah suffices him. He cured the blind and the leper, and he brought the dead to life by the permission of Allah. This is a prophetic miracle for him (peace and blessings be upon him). He was named al-Masih because he wipes over the sick person and heals him, by Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
