Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: There are those who say that if someone attacks a person’s family, he must let the attacker go and hand over his family if he is unable and has no power to stop him, citing the story of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he handed his wife over to the governor of Egypt. Is this statement correct, and is this evidence valid?
Answer:
He handed her over to the governor of Egypt, and with her was an angel from the angels who protected her from him; he did not reach her, he did not reach her, and he did not approach her, because with her was an angel from the angels who protected her from his evil. This is specific to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Yes.
