Is it permissible to believe that the Americans reached the moon?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is your opinion regarding the Americans' reaching the moon? Is this true, because there is also a hadith that says: Sunan Abi Dawud 3644Da'if (Al-Albani).
The Shaykh : And you are here, this has become a matter of certainty, and thenSunan Abi Dawud 3644Da'if (Al-Albani). You have placed the hadith in the wrong context. This applies to the reports that occurred before the Messenger (peace be upon him), which are called Isra'iliyyat. If the People of the Book tell us about something that happened in their long history of Christianity or Judaism, we neither believe them nor deny them; because if we deny them, the denial might be correct, and conversely, if we believe them, the belief might be false.
But we say: We believe in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and in what He has revealed. This is related to the previous history, not to the current reality today, which is related to scientific experiments.
