Question:
This questioner, Honorable Shaykh, asks about the meaning of a phrase. He asks: What is the status of this phrase, “Kinship ties are severed and land is built”? What is the Shari'ah’s view, in your opinion, of this phrase, and to whom does it apply?
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This phrase is, in itself, not problematic because it is a description of reality. However, if the speaker intends that there is no resurrection or rising, and that it is merely wombs that push out and earth that swallows, with nothing beyond that, then this is disbelief in Allah the Exalted. Yes.
