Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some mu'adhdhins say, “I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,” with a fathah on the lam. He asks: Is this a significant error?
Answer:
Yes, this is a significant error. It is a significant error that changes the meaning, because the news did not come that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This is a description, an attribute. This is called the attribute following the described noun, and it is in the accusative case. The news is: it did not come. This is considered a significant error. They say there is a view in the Arabic language regarding the accusative case of the news of “in,” but this is a weak view that does not apply to acts of worship. Yes.
