Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How do you reconcile the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 2812a, with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) Sahih Muslim 148a that the hips of the women of Daw will rub on Dhul-Khalas?
Answer:
The Messenger did not say that idols will not be worshipped. He said that Satan has despaired. He has despaired, and the curse of Allah is upon him. This does not mean that disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah) will not exist. Rather, he despaired because he saw the strength of the religion and the strength of the Muslims. This is regarding himself. Yes.
