Those who killed their children because of the weakness of their intellects and their ignorance have surely lost and perished, and they forbade what Allah provided them as a lie against Allah. They have surely been far from the truth, and they were not of the people of guidance and correctness. For the making lawful and the making forbidden are of the characteristics of divinity in the legislation, and the lawful is what Allah made lawful, and the forbidden is what Allah forbade, and it is not for anyone of His creation as an individual or a group that he legislate for His servants what Allah did not permit by it.
