Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to say "It is reported from the Lawgiver that such and such is the case," meaning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or is the Lawgiver Allah and the Messenger is the one who conveys His message?
Answer:
The Lawgiver is Allah, and the Messenger is the one who conveys it. So if you mean the Messenger by "Lawgiver," he is a Lawgiver on behalf of Allah, meaning he legislates from Him; he is a Lawgiver on behalf of Allah and a conveyor of Allah's message. Yes.
