Fatwa #504818 September 2002Canada
when Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, Mohammed walks, does his shadow falls on the earth?
Answer
Zakwaan reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not have a shadow. This narration is recorded by Hakim Tirmidhi. (Seek al-Khasaaisul
Kubrah of Suyyooti vol.1 pg.164; Subulul Hudaa war rashaad vol.2 pg.90 and
Sharh zarqaani alal mawaahib vol.7 pg.200)
Imam Zurqaani also states that Imaams ibnul Jawzi and ibnul Mubaarak have
reported on the authority of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu
Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not have a shadow.
(Sharhu Zurqaani vol.7 pg.200.
However, the authenticity of these narrators still remain unclear to us.
