Kinship Between the One Who Is Saved from Drowning and the One Who Saves Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, a person saved my son from drowning, and they say that he becomes a relative to you and a brother to the one whom Allah saved from drowning?
Answer:
This has no basis. This is from the sayings of the common people and has no basis at all. Saving someone from a deadly situation carries a reward, and there is a reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in it. As for it causing kinship or a mahram relationship, this is wrong and has no basis in the Shari'ah. Yes.
