The Status of One Whose Lineage Traces Back to the Family of the Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does one whose lineage traces back to the family of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) have a status among people that necessitates love and respect, regardless of his deeds, whether they are righteous or otherwise?
Answer:
Who says this? If he is not righteous, it does not benefit him that he is from the family of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Was not Abu Lahab the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He was the uncle of the Messenger, and what benefit did that bring him? He will be tormented by a fire of blazing flame, and he was the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
