The Sun's Rotation Around the Earth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Honorable Shaykh, Abu Ibrahim, asks and says: Does the sun revolve around the earth? And what is the correct view on this? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Without a doubt, the scholars have not differed on this, for it revolves around the earth. We observe this: it rises from the east, sets in the west, then appears in the morning from the east, and so on. So it revolves around the earth without a doubt. The earth is stationary, and the sun, stars, and planets revolve around it. The celestial spheres, each in its own orbit, glorify Him. Yes.
