The ruling on the claim that the Torah was revealed in the 'Asir region
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have received questions, and among them is this one, attached for Your Eminence: a study published in the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas by a writer at one of the foreign universities in the Arab countries, named Dr. Kamal al-Salibi, in his historical book. He states in it that the Torah was revealed in the 'Asir region of the Kingdom. To what extent is this correct from the perspective of Islam? We fear that this may be a plot and a conspiracy targeting the sacred lands, with the beginning in the 'Asir region as a preparation for the Jews' ambitions regarding the sacred places in Makkah and al-Madinah. We ask for clarification?
Answer:
We look at this condition; I say we look at the matter of the condition. May Allah guide them all.
