The ruling on the benefit of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) kinship to a polytheist
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the kinship of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does not benefit a polytheist among his relatives, how is one to answer what is established in the authentic hadith that the least punished person in the Fire is Abu Talib?
Answer:
It did not benefit him by taking him out of the Fire; it did not benefit him by taking him out of the Fire. He sees that he is the most severely punished of people, and he does not see that anyone is more severely punished than he is. Yes, it is authentic. The Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him) kinship does not benefit without faith, because it did not benefit Abu Talib, and it did not take him out of the Fire. Rather, he endures punishment such that he sees himself as the most severely punished of the people of the Fire. Yes.
