The answer

Such cosmic sciences are neither affirmed nor denied in Sharia, and divine revelation neither falsifies nor confirms them. These estimations are based on theoretical foundations that evolve over time, and a distinction must be made between scientific theories that are subject to change and established facts, as well as between illusion and conjecture, and scientific theories based on study and experimentation. Sheikh Abd al-Kareem al-Hameed mentioned that evidence indicates the universe had a beginning, and they have estimated the age of the Earth, the sun, and the stars. There is no benefit in delving into these matters, which are often mere speculation about the unseen.
