The ruling on attributing Ibrahim’s (peace be upon him) hospitality to guests to Bedouin custom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people say that Ibrahim’s (peace be upon him) hospitality to guests was not among the virtues of Ibrahim, but rather it was the custom of the Bedouins to honor anyone who stayed with them. What is the ruling on this statement?
Answer:
This is insolence, and may Allah protect us from it, and bad manners toward the intimate friend of Allah. Is such speech not impermissible? This is what a Bedouin would say. No one says such a thing except one who is ignorant of the rights of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them).
