Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I read on one of the signs, "Honor your aunt, the date palm." Is this a hadith or an athar?
Answer:
This is a saying among the common people, and as far as I know, it has no basis in the Shari'ah. The date palm is not our aunt. The date palm is a tree, not our aunt, but it is a good tree, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) described it, because of the great benefit it contains. Yes.
