Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the statement of those who said in the story of the People of the Cave:
We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا
[al-Kahf:21]?

Answer:
Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَى أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا
[al-Kahf:21] They thought it was permissible and that it was an act of worship, out of their ignorance. The Shari'ah came to declare that this is reprehensible; the Islamic Shari'ah.

[al-Kahf:21] This was due to their ignorance. The Sunnah indicates that these people said it out of their ignorance.
