The Ruling on al-Khidr: Prophet or Wali
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This questioner, Abu Muhammad, says: Is al-Khidr, who is mentioned in Surat al-Kahf, a prophet or a wali? And in which era was he?
Answer:
The grave was in the era of Musa (peace be upon him). The scholars differed on whether he was a prophet or a wali among the awliya (close friends of Allah)? There are two opinions, and the matter is easy in this regard. Whether he was a prophet or a wali, he is a servant among the servants of Allah, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:[Al-Kahf 18:65] Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
