Saying ‘Why Did Allah Create Relatives?’

21-11-2021 | IslamWeb

Question:

I wanted to ask if somebody says out of frustration, “why did Allah create relatives”, what's the ruling on the sentence?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Just uttering this expression is neither Kufr (disbelief) nor apostasy.

It may be just a question in order to know, and this is permissible. It may also be said as a way of resentment and discontent, while recognizing the extreme Wisdom of Allah, and this is forbidden.

Rather, this phrase is considered Kufr if it is said as a way of objection and aspersion to the Wisdom of Allah – and it is unlikely that a Muslim would say this.

Allah knows best.
