Supplication against undutiful children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
Abdul Aziz is with us on the line from Taif.
The questioner:
O long-lived Shaykh, I have children whom I raised and sacrificed for, but they are undutiful. The point is, I have been making supplications against them in the car and while traveling, asking Allah to kill them. Whoever tells me about the death of one of them gets five thousand. Either they die or they get imprisoned. But one of them said, "May I die before you, one of you."
The presenter:
There is no power and no strength.
The questioner:
I die and they make amends for my death? Or they imprison them? May Allah protect me from their evil. Their evil is widespread. They broke the car and took the fingerprint evidence against them. They found them having broken the car. So there is no good in them, and no relief from their evil. The servants married them off, and he got involved and ended up in prison.
The presenter:
But we are not finished.
The questioner:
I am personally Abdul Aziz, Abdul Aziz.
The presenter:
We will hear the answer from the Shaykh.
The questioner:
I am not responsible for them. He says: Do not feed them, give them drink, or house them.
The presenter:
Abdul Aziz. May Allah preserve you. Your question is good. We will hear the answer from the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
My brother, these are your children, and you raised them and treated them well, but they responded to this with undutifulness and mistreatment. So you should be patient and seek reward from Allah, and do not make supplications against them, perhaps Allah will guide them and reform them. Use forbearance and patience, and Allah will compensate you with good for what you have lost. Do not despair that Allah will reform them and they will return to the right path. These are your children and you are their father. If they err against you, be patient with their error. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
