Challenging Solipsism: Can Others Exist Beyond Our Perception?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can you prove solipsism wrong? Solipsism is the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist. I mean, you don’t know whether others have feelings just like you or not, but you will just see that they are crying but can never be sure of the fact they actually have feelings.

Bismillaah

A: When Allah has created feelings, how can you disprove the creation of Allah.

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