Question:
May Allah reward you. Muhammad Abdullah from Riyadh says: How is the concept of differences being a mercy?
Answer:
Disagreement is not a mercy. Allah the Exalted said:[Hud 11:118-119] This indicates that those whom Allah showed mercy to did not disagree. Disagreement is opposition and divergence. As for disagreement in deriving Islamic legal rulings by those qualified to do so, there is nothing wrong with it. This is a jurisprudential disagreement. As for disagreement in creed and matters of creed, this is not permissible because they are not a place for disagreement. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
