A person reconciled me and my brother, so how do I reward him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There has been enmity and estrangement between me and my brother for years, and after this period, a person—may Allah reward him with good—reconciled us. How do I reward him, now that the relationship between us has been restored? Please tell us about the virtue of forgiveness and reconciliation between those who have fallen out.
Answer:
He did not ask for anything from you; he seeks the reward from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and does not want a reward from you. However, if he reconciles two tribes or two groups of believers and incurs a debt in exchange for that, then he is among those in debt, and he is given from the zakah the amount of his debt. Yes.
