Does the theory of relativity involve violations of Sharia?

What I have seen is not suitable for reliance. It suffices that scientific facts, firmly established by sound proof, cannot contradict the Qur’an and the definitive laws of Islam, both in their certainty of revelation and their implications. As for researching the theory of relativity and judging it in terms of its definitive proof and whether it has reached the level of a scientific truth, that is not our concern.
