Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A clip has circulated these days stating that a hair from the hairs of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was purchased by one of the people for a large sum of money and placed in a museum. Is that true?
The Shaykh:
May Allah cause you to lose out on this. Who can assert that this is a hair of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? These are the people of superstition. They want to promote superstition and consume the wealth of people through falsehood. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
What is the hair of the Messenger? Even if it were established that it is the hair of the Messenger, the intended meaning is following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and acting in accordance with his Sunnah. As for the hair without acting in accordance with the Sunnah, it does not benefit you in any way.
