Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

The commentators explain the wisdom behind the creation of the heavens and the earth over a period of six days was to show man that he should not be hasty in his affairs but rather he must be cautious and meticulous.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
