How is the Hadith: "Allah will take retribution for the hornless sheep from the horned one" interpreted, given that animals are not held accountable?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
This is authentic, and it indicates that Allah will exact retribution for the hornless sheep from the horned sheep on the Day of Judgment. This is not a retribution of obligation, as animals are not obligated; rather, it is a retribution of requital to achieve absolute divine justice.
