What is the response to the doubt raised that Haman was a minister in Babylon and not at Pharaoh's court?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The claim that Haman was not a minister to Pharaoh is false; what Allah Almighty stated in the Quran is the truth. Haman was a minister to the Pharaoh of Moses, and the term "Pharaoh" was used for everyone who ruled Egypt at that time, just as "Negus" was used for the rulers of Abyssinia and "Tubba‘" for the rulers of Yemen.
