Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner asks: Do the lifespans of the servants change, as it is established in the two Sahihs that his lifespan is extended?
Answer:
A blessing is granted to him in it; it does not mean that something is added to its length. No, but he is blessed in his lifespan, so it becomes like that of a person with a long life.
