Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the saying of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)[An-Nisa 4:85] what is the meaning of this verse? And why is "kafal" (guarantee) the counterpart of "nasib" (portion)?
Answer:
Here, the verse, and Allah knows best, is a stern warning against one who intercedes with a bad intercession, for he becomes a partner in the sin of the one for whom he intercedes. In the case of something forbidden, he becomes a partner with him in the sin and the punishment. As for[An-Nisa 4:85], which means reward, he will have a reward for his intercession, and the right belongs to the one for whom the intercession is made; the intercessor has no share of it, only the reward. This is unlike the bad intercession, in which he becomes a partner with him in the punishment and a partner with him in the sin.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
