Combining the verses on the creation of the heavens and the earth in six days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that the worship of intercession, in what he claims, involves sins by what was commanded, and that is because Allah gave, or that it carries six days, then he mentions in the surah before it eight days, or in two days, and we have other things besides the dwellings and the heavens in two days. And if one of the men agrees, how did we specify this man?

Answer:
There is a contradiction in the mind, not in the Qur'an. There is no contradiction in the Qur'an, but his mind is contradictory. The verse in Surat al-A'raf is general, and the verse in Surat al-Fath is detailed, specifying that the creation of the earth was in two days and the provision therein was measured in two days, so the total is four days. Then He rose up to the heavens and the smoke, and He completed them as seven heavens in two days. What is the total? Six days. So His statement regarding the four days is included in the two days mentioned before this. The creation of the earth in two days
and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four daysوَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ
[Fussilat 41:10]
means in the two preceding days, so the creation of the earth and the measuring of its provisions is in four days, and the creation of the heavens is in two days, making the total six days. Praise be to Allah.
