Summary
Allah granted Luqman al-Hakim wisdom, and his advice is recorded in the Quran. Scholars differ on whether he was a prophet, and the majority hold that he was a saint or righteous servant rather than a prophet. This ruling adopts the majority view and regards the opinion of Ikrimah and al-Sha'bi, that he was a prophet, as weak.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tarjih: Setelah meneliti pelbagai pendapat, kami cenderung kepada pendapat jumhur di kalangan sahabat dan ulama' yang mengatakan bahawa Luqman al-Hakim seorang hamba yang soleh dan bukan seorang Nabi.
