A Response to Those Who Cite the Status of Martyrdom as an Excuse for Leaving Without Their Parents' Permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Many young people argue that leaving without their parents' permission is a sin, and that a martyr is forgiven at the first drop of his blood. How should one respond to them?
Answer:
He is not a martyr. This is a sinner. He does not become a martyr; rather, he remains a sinner, and his departure is not justified by the Shari'ah. How can he be a martyr when his departure is not justified by the Shari'ah? But these people, as I mentioned, pluck from the beginnings of some evidence and do not look at the other evidence. This is the method of the Khawarij, the method of the people of misguidance who take the ambiguous and leave the clear.
