What is your opinion of the statement of those who say: that establishing the proof is conditioned by two conditions: the bearer of the proof and the proof itself.

The questioner : Following up on this question and a previous one, some of those who speak or call to Allah say that establishing the proof is conditioned by the bearer of the proof and the proof itself. The bearer of the proof must be acceptable to the people, and the proof itself must be clear and evident. What is the meaning of this statement? Is this statement correct or not?

The Shaykh : This first statement is invalid, because the Prophets and Messengers were not acceptable to the disbelievers. As for the second condition, it is undoubtedly necessary that it be clear.
Is there anything remaining regarding the previous discussion?

Another questioner : Repeat the last question...

The questioner : The last question?

The Shaykh : What is the last one?

Another questioner : Establishing the proof.

The Shaykh : We did not discuss it.

Another questioner : I mean, if he wants more detail.

The Shaykh : I do not know; he is still asking. I have mentioned it in what I have.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : You mentioned that they mentioned two things: that the one who establishes the proof must be acceptable, and we rejected this condition. As for the proof being strong and apparent, that is necessary. And with that, the answer is complete.

The questioner : Yes.
