The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the meaning of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement: “We, the prophets, are half-brothers”?
The Shaykh:
They are like half-brothers: those who have the same father but different mothers. One man marries several wives, and each has children; these are half-brothers. This is different from full brothers, who have the same mother and the same father; they are called full brothers. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and this is the resident.
The Shaykh:
This is an analogy by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the difference in laws (sharia) while worship is unified for Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
