The ruling on using the phrase “challenges weather conditions” in commercial advertisements
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are some advertisements for paint that carry the phrase “challenges weather conditions.” Is this phrase contrary to tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?
Answer:
These people only want money, they only want money, and they exaggerate in their praise. If one exaggerates in praise, he is a liar. Absolutely, if he exaggerates in innovations, know that he is a liar. This “challenging the weather,” even if it is true, there is nothing that challenges the weather; the weather is stronger than the work of the son of Adam, but this is among the exaggerations and lies.
