Praising the authorities by saying they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says that one of the female writers in a local newspaper, in praising the authorities, says that they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them, and they do what they are ordered to do. Is this statement correct? And what is your guidance (may Allah preserve you) regarding such a thing?
Answer:
This is exaggeration. This is a description of the angels (peace be upon them). Allah described the angels with this description, so it is not permissible to describe the children of Adam with this description. This is among exaggeration, hypocrisy, and flattery.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
