The Meaning of Dispute in the Statement of Allah the Exalted: (In that which they dispute between themselves)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our brother, in this topic, which is undoubtedly important as Your Eminence values it, asks at the end and says: Is the dispute here regarding worldly matters or regarding religion [Al-Nisa:65]?
Answer: As mentioned previously, it is general and encompasses the disputes that occur among people in their worldly affairs, such as buying and selling, crimes, and the like. It may also be a dispute regarding the knowledge of Allah's ruling, in acts of worship or otherwise, so they dispute; one says: This is forbidden, and another says: This is permissible, and another says: This is obligatory, and another says: It is not obligatory. So the recourse in this is to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, not to the desires, customs, and opinions of people. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
