The sons’ following the righteousness of their mothers rather than their fathers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does the righteousness of the mothers, as opposed to the righteousness of the fathers, extend to the sons?
Answer:
We enter into His saying:[At-Tur 52:21], “those who believed” includes both the fathers and the mothers, my brother. He did not say “and the fathers who believed and followed”; rather, He said “those who believed,” which is a general formulation that encompasses these, according to the scholars of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
