Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the words of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)[An-Nahl 16:49], can the beast be in the sky?
Answer:
The Dabbah is whatever crawls and moves, and everything that crawls and moves is called a Dabbah. But people have come to know now that the Dabbah is other than a human being. Linguistically, the Dabbah is everything that crawls and moves on the earth or in the sky.
