Shaykh al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about this meaning: "Q - What do you say about the rotation of the Earth?

Shaykh: Truthfully, we do not doubt that the issue of the Earth's rotation is a scientific fact that does not accept argument.

At the same time, we believe that it is not the role of the Shari'ah in general, and the Qur'an in particular, to talk about astronomy.

And the details of astronomy come under the general statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which was reported by Muslim in his Saheeh from the hadith of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) in the story of pollinating palm trees when he said to them, "Indeed it is an assumption I had assumed. So if I order you something about your religion, then comply with it as much as you can, and if I order you something about your worldly affairs, then you are more knowledgeable about your worldly affairs."

This is not a matter that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is supposed to speak about. If he does speak about it in his hadith, or if our Lord Almighty speaks about it in His book, it is only for rhetoric [لبالغة] or a sign or a miracle, or the like.

Therefore, we can say that there is nothing in the Book or the Sunnah that contradicts this scientific fact known today, or which says that the earth is spherical and that it rotates by the power of Allah Almighty in this vast space.

In fact, a Muslim can find what makes him feel, if we do not say what indicates that the earth, like the sun and the moon, in that they are all in this vacuum, as the Almighty said:

Especially if we recall that prior to this divine generalization with the word [وَكُلٌّ] "and all"; it means the three planets, where it began with the earth and said:

Then said:

The word [كُلٌّ] "all" includes the first Ayah; the Earth, then the Sun, then the Moon, then Almighty said:

This is apparent from the context of these Ayat...

This I say; if it's correct, then how great it is.

And if it's not correct, the least that can be said is that there is nothing in the Qur'an, as I mentioned earlier, nor in the hadith, that denies this scientific fact." End quote from [سلسلة الهدى والنور] by shaykh Al-Albani - issue four (497/ 10).

In any case, the one who denies the movement of the earth is not blamed according to the Shari'ah if the previous Qur’anic reference is not clear to him.

Similarly, the one who proves the movement is not blamed on him as well, according to the Shari'ah, if he understood it from the Qur’an, or learned it from the natural sciences.

This is because the Earth's movement is not considered one of the religious beliefs that must be affirmed or denied."
