Ransoming with Disbelieving Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah protect your life. Is it permissible to offer a ransom for anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with one’s parents?
Answer:
If the parents are disbelievers and the [person] is a Muslim, there is no harm. If it is a ransom like “my father and my mother,” and they are disbelievers, there is no harm. We are asked to issue a ruling that we offer ourselves as a ransom after our parents.
