The Infallibility of the Prophet in What He Conveys from His Lord, and the Infallibility of the Prophets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion of the one who says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is infallible in what he conveys from his Lord, thereby limiting the infallibility to what he conveys from his Lord?
Answer:
Yes, there is no doubt that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is protected from error in what he conveys of His greatness,[An-Najm 53:3-4], and he is also protected from major sins. All the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) are protected from major sins. The disagreement is only regarding minor sins. However, whenever Allah mentioned a sin regarding them, He also mentioned their repentance; He mentioned their repentance to Him. So, in the end, they are protected from minor sins, but at the beginning, something may occur from them, yet they are protected from persisting in it. They are protected from it in the end, not at the beginning. As for major sins, they are protected from them from the beginning to the end. Likewise, in what they convey from Allah, they are absolutely protected. Yes, there is no need to stir up this issue. We told you that stirring up these issues among people and among beginner students is intended to cause confusion, not to discuss the issue of infallibility. Yes.
