The Permanent Committee was asked about the ruling on the tafsīrs referred to as ‘scientific’ and the extent to which it is legislated to connect Qurʾānic verses with scientific research. They answered, “When it is from the type of tafsīrs that explain the saying His saying, the Exalted, “Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were ‘ratqan’and we clove them asunderand we made from water every living thing?” (21:30) to mean that the Earth was connected to the Sun, being a part of it and due to the severe rotation of the Sun the Earth separated. Then its surface cooled and its inner core remained hot and [by this process] became amongst the planets that orbit the sun -when it is from the tafsīrs which are of this type, then it is not desirable to depend upon them… And likewise [it is not permissible to depend upon] all tafsīrs that rely upon new opinions that do not have a basis from the Book and the Sunnah and nor from the speech of the Salaf due to what [such tafsīrs] contain of speaking about Allāh without knowledge."
