Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In Surat al-Kahf, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) did not rebuke the one who built a mosque over a grave. How is the response to this doubt? Glory be to Allah, He did not rebuke.[Al-Kahf 18:21] This rebuke was because they overpowered the matter; they used their authority without evidence and without proof; it was merely a matter of dominance.
Answer:
[Al-Kahf 18:21] You do not read the tafsir, and you do not know. Yes.
