Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on some people saying, "Infallibility belongs to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)"?
Answer:
Infallibility belongs to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Do not say "infallibility belongs to Allah"; say "infallibility belongs to the Book of Allah." You may say "infallibility belongs to the Book of Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)," because the Book of Allah is infallible, for Allah said:[Al-Hijr 15:9] Thus, Allah protected it from distortion, alteration, and change. Yes.
