Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you.
Answer:
It is not permissible to interpret the Qur'an with medical and astronomical theories or the like. It is not permissible to interpret the Qur'an except with the known sources, which are interpreting the Qur'an with the Qur'an, or interpreting the Qur'an with the Prophetic Sunnah, or interpreting the Qur'an with the statements of the Tabi'un, or interpreting the Qur'an according to the Arabic language in which it was revealed. As for interpreting it with modern theories, this is speaking about Allah without knowledge. Theories are not infallible; they differ and change. So shall we make them an interpretation of the speech of Allah when they are subject to error? And subject to change?
You do not make that an interpretation of the speech of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. This is wrong, this is wrong, and it is speaking about the Qur'an without knowledge, interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge. We ask Allah for safety. It is conjecture. Yes.

May Allah reward you
