Explanation of the Rainbow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s issue: What is your opinion of this term, or is it correct?
Answer:
Or perhaps the intended meaning is the color that forms from the mist. It is formed from the mist mixed with the rays of the sun. When the rays of the sun strike the mist that comes from rain or from something else, a colored line appears, containing green, red, and white. This is the result of the sun’s rays colliding with the mist. They call it the rainbow, a name for which I do not know any evidence; it is merely a common term among people. Its origin, as I mentioned to you, is the meeting of the sun’s rays with the mist. Yes.
