Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Honorable Shaykh, I do not know the implication. Is there no answer regarding the attribute of the Khulaf? Specifically regarding this verse, with the mockery of their parents and the one who mocked his father, how can one use the action of someone like him as evidence for a legal ruling?
Answer:
This is the word of Allah, not the word of Iblis. This is the word of Allah, and Allah related this as a narrative from Iblis and he acknowledged it. He acknowledged it by affirming that he would mislead the children of Adam. He affirmed that by swearing an oath by the majesty of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
