Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(may Allah be pleased with him). Is it obligatory for the common people to believe in the exaltation of Allah, so that you ask them about it? What harm is there in that?
Answer:
For the common people, you explain it to them, you clarify it for them, you clarify it for them first. Do not surprise them, do not surprise them with a question when they do not know. But teach them, explain the creed to them. When they understand it and know it, you ask them for the sake of testing, in order to test whether they understood or did not understand? As for surprising a common person who has not studied before and does not know, and coming to him with a question that he does not understand, that is not permissible. Yes.
