Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the wisdom of abrogation in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, Your Eminence the Shaykh?

Answer:
The wisdom is mercy from Allah to His servants, and that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, and He is the Wise, the All-Knowing. So He abrogates what He wills,
We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to itمَا نَنسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِّنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:106]
, and He is the Wise, the All-Knowing, abrogating what He wills and preserving what He wills (Exalted and Majestic is He), and this is the perfect wisdom.
