Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it true that some exegetes mentioned that the believer from the family of Pharaoh is Dhul-Qarnayn, who is mentioned in Surat al-Kahf?
Answer:
This is a confusion between Dhul-Qarnayn and the believer from the family of Pharaoh. Were they even contemporaries? It is not permissible to speak about the Book of Allah without knowledge, or to interpret it without knowledge, just as some of them say that the Dajjal is the Samiri who made the calf for the Children of Israel. Who knows about this? Where did he get this talk from? Yes, it is not permissible to fabricate regarding the Book of Allah the Exalted. Yes, Dhul-Qarnayn was a Muslim, and the believer from the family of Pharaoh was also a Muslim; each of them was a Muslim, but what makes this one that other? Yes.
