Fatwa #343715 July 2001United States of America

My question, Musa(a.s) and death angel. Musa (A.S.) has shot the death angel? This hadith in Imam buhari(sahih).

Question

What are you this hadith think?

Answer

The Hadith in question probably is the incident when Musa (Alayhis salaam)
clouted the angel of death. If so, the Hadith is authentic.

The general question posed is how was it possible for Musa (Alayhis salaam)
to clout the angel of death and damage the angel's eye. The answer is
simple. The angel of death came in the form of a human being and was
personified with the characteristic of a human being, hence, the pain and
damage of the eye.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
