Answer
There is no inconsistency between Allah creating Adam(A.S.) in Jannah and thereafter sending him to earth as His khalifa(vicegerant). The verse refers to the time after the creation of Adam (A.S.) in paradise.

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.
