Fatwa number ( 6534 ):
Q: Here in Pakistan , the scholars of the Barelwi sect believe that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has no shadow, and this is an indication that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not human . Is this hadith authentic? That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has no shadow?
A: This statement is invalid and contradicts the explicit texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah which indicate that he (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) is a human being who does not differ from people in his human constitution, and that he has a shadow just like any other person. What Allah honored him with, namely the message, does not remove him from his human description, in which Allah created him from a mother and a father. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Kahf 18:110] the verse, and Allah the Exalted said: [Ibrahim 14:11] the verse. As for what is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was created from the light of Allah, it is a fabricated hadith. And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحَى إِلَيَّTheir messengers said to them, "We are only men like you
قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِنْ نَحْنُ إِلا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ
