The Meaning of the Suitability of Islam for All Times and Places

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, 'Adil, says: We hear from many contemporary scholars, jurists, and preachers the phrase that this Islam is suitable for all times and places. What is the meaning of this phrase?

Answer:
. And peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, there is no doubt that the religion of Islam, with which Allah sent His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), is suitable and sufficient for humanity for every future time and the hereafter until the Hour occurs. It does not need to be changed or abrogated by another Shari'ah, as was the case with the previous Shari'ahs. For every one of the previous Shari'ahs was temporary, and then another Shari'ah would come and abrogate it, because times differ. As for this religion, the religion of Islam, it is suitable for every time and place, and it is not abrogated, changed, or altered. It is for every time, and likewise for every place, from the east to the west of the earth. It accommodates all the inhabitants of the earth , . It is suitable for every generation and every nation, and it is suitable in all places, from east and west, and north and south, the near and the far. It is suitable for all future times until the Hour occurs. People do not need another Shari'ah, or another Prophet.
