Is the earth stationary

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: How can I make clear to a non-Muslim that the earth is a stationary place according to the word of Allah and because the modern science has proved that the earth rotates around the sun as well as around its axis.

Bismillaah

A: The Qur’aan does not speak about this. Don’t take the trouble of forcing the meaning out of the Qur’aan.

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