Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was mentioned to us that when Adam (peace be upon him) was created, his height was sixty cubits, and then the stature of people decreased after that. Is this decrease still continuing, or did it stop with the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Allah knows best. I do not know about this. Yes.
