Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person is asked about a matter and says, “Allah and His Messenger know best,” is that permissible?
Answer:
No, that was during the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when it was said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” But after the death of the Messenger, it is said, “Allah knows best.” That is sufficient.
