Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Also, another questioner, Abu 'Umar from al-Dammam, says: Regarding His saying, the Exalted:
It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:36]
"Say: Explain to us the meaning of the verse." May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The meaning of the verse is clear. It is not befitting a believer who believes in Allah, the Exalted, and His Messenger, nor a believing woman,
A believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they have a choice in their affair.مؤمنة إذا قضى الله ورسوله أمرا أن يكون لهم الخيرة من أمرهم
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 15:261
because the default ruling for a command is that it is obligatory. Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to leave the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, in what He has commanded except for a valid legal excuse. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
