Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner asks: Is it true that the supernatural event that occurs through the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is called a sign (ayah) and not a prophetic miracle (mu'jizah)?

Answer:
It is not called a sign (ayah) unless it is a prophetic miracle (mu'jizah); they are concomitant, whether it is called a sign or a miracle. Yes.
