Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the writers says that the system of slavery was introduced as a concession to people, and that Islam does not approve of it, but rather brought it in only as a concession to people.
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) makes concessions to people? What a great word that is. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) accommodates people and makes concessions to them. This is not permissible. I mean, slavery is forbidden, but Islam made a concession to people regarding it, approving the forbidden as a concession to people. This is false speech. Yes.
