Q31: I have read many times the saying of some of the Companions: (May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah). Is this an oath?
A31: The meaning of this phrase (May my father and mother be your ransom) is: I would sacrifice my father and mother for you, and make them a ransom for you, let alone anyone else. It indicates reverence and respect, and it is not an oath.
