The Meaning of al-Duhma' in the Hadiths and the Internet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that al-Duhma' mentioned in some hadiths is the Internet, as some people say, because it has entered almost every home?
Answer:
Allah knows best. We do not determine the meaning of Allah and the meaning of His Messenger except by evidence. However, we may suppose that this is such-and-such, or that this falls under the category of supposition rather than certainty. Or we may say that this is included in the meaning of what the Messenger mentioned, or something similar to that. We do not assert it with certainty. Yes.
