Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The eighth question of Fatwa No. ( 3377 )
Q 8: How should a Muslim treat his Muslim brother?
Vol. 8: A Muslim has many rights over another Muslim, as detailed in the Book of Allah the Exalted and the Sunnah of His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Among these rights is cooperating with him in righteousness and piety, and not cooperating with him in sin and aggression. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] Among them is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned in his saying: Mishkat al-Masabih 1525 narrated by Muslim . Among them is his saying: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1171 narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim . Among them is his saying: Bulugh al-Maram 16:5 narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim . Among them is his saying: Sahih al-Bukhari 13 narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim . Among them is his saying: Sahih Muslim 2560a narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim . Among them is his saying: Sahih Muslim 2626, and his saying: Sahih Muslim 2625b, both narrated by Muslim . Among them is his saying: Sahih Muslim 2564a narrated by Muslim . And so on, from the texts indicating the etiquettes of Islamic brotherhood. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
Q 8: How should a Muslim treat his Muslim brother?
Vol. 8: A Muslim has many rights over another Muslim, as detailed in the Book of Allah the Exalted and the Sunnah of His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Among these rights is cooperating with him in righteousness and piety, and not cooperating with him in sin and aggression. Allah the Exalted said:
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِA Muslim has six duties towards another Muslim.” When asked what they were he replied, “When you meet him salute him ; when he issues an invitation to you, accept it; when he asks your advice give it to him ; when he sneezes and praises God say, ‘God have mercy on you’; when he is ill visit him ; and when he dies follow him to the grave.”
حق المسلم على المسلم ست: إذا لقيته فسلم عليه، وإذا دعاك فأجبه، وإذا استنصحك فانصح له، وإذا عطس فحمد الله فشمته، وإذا مرض فعده، وإذا مات فاتبعهTwo should not converse to the exclusion of another until they are mixing with people since that would distress him.
إذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون الآخر حتى يختلطوا بالناس، من أجل أن ذلك يحزنهA man should not ask another man to get up from his place in order to take his seat. But you should make room for each other and spread out.
لا يقيم الرجل الرجل من مجلسه ثم يجلس فيه، ولكن تفسحوا وتوسعواNone of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.
والذي نفسي بيده لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسهIt is not permissible for a Muslim to have estranged relations with his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet; the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.
لا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث ليال، يلتقيان فيعرض هذا ويعرض هذا، وخيرهما الذي يبدأ بالسلامDon't consider anything insignificant out of good things even if it is that you meet your brother with a cheerful countenance.
لا تحقرن من المعروف شيئًا ولو أن تلقى أخاك بوجه طلقwhen you prepare the broth, add water to that and give that (as a present) to your neighbour.
إذا طبخت مرقة فأكثر ماءها وتعاهد جيرانكDon't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour.
لا تحاسدوا ولا تناجشو ولا تباغضوا ولا تدابروا، ولا يبع بعضكم على بيع بعض، وكونوا عباد الله إخوانًا، المسلم أخو المسلم لا يظلمه ولا يخذله ولا يحقره، التقوى هاهنا -ويشير إلى صدره ثلاث مرات- بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم، كل المسلم على المسلم حرام: دمه وماله وعرضه
