Surah infitaar, verse 7

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: In Surah Infitar (82) Verse 7, Allah Ta’ala says ‘Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you’. Is this ayat supposed to be understood for human beings in general? The reason for asking is that not all people are born proportioned – some people are born deformed, some people are born with leg length discrepancies, some people are born transgender.

Bismillaah

A: In another verse Allah Ta’ala explains that he has created some in their complete form and some with some deformity. (Surah Hajj, verse 5).

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ۖوَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِن بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا ۚ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ ﴿الحج:٥﴾
