The Rotation of the Sun Around Its Axis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, we believe that the sun prostrates beneath the Throne every night, but is there any legal clarification regarding the apparent fact that it continues to rotate?

Answer:
Yes, the sun runs to its resting place in the reading "la mustaqarr laha" (no resting place for it). The sun runs, it rises from the east and sets in the west, and this is something observed that no one denies except one who is obstinate. Yes.
