Is the verse: “Do not ask about things” still in effect until our day?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The verse [Al-Baqarah 2:104] Some people have cited it as evidence in our time; when asked, they say...?
The Shaykh : And if you ask about them, read what follows, yes. The prohibition was at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an so that a thing would not be made forbidden because of asking about it, or made obligatory because of asking about it. As for now, the Shari'ah has become established; if one asks, it is not possible for something to become obligatory because of his question, nor for it to become forbidden.
O you who have believed, say not [to Allah 's Messenger], "Ra'ina" but say, "Unthurna" and listen. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تسألوا عن أشياء ...The Shaykh : And if you ask about them, read what follows, yes. The prohibition was at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an so that a thing would not be made forbidden because of asking about it, or made obligatory because of asking about it. As for now, the Shari'ah has become established; if one asks, it is not possible for something to become obligatory because of his question, nor for it to become forbidden.
