Question:
Honorable Shaykh. There is a prohibition against that, and against looking at the sky, because this person is looking at the sky, so he should not look at the sky or the ceiling, nor at the sky. What is the difference between the hadith of “with them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise” and the hadith of the seven whom Allah will shade in His shade? Are the seven limited to just that number, seven?
Answer:
No. Yes. The seven are limited to the seven whom Allah will shade, unless there is evidence indicating an increase.
