Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man feared for his son because of bad company, such as drug users and the like. He advised his son, but the son did not listen to him. So his father confined him in the house on one occasion and prevented him from going out, and the son killed himself. The father asks: Is anything required of me because of this matter? And is there any sin on me for that?
Answer:
There is no sin on him, and nothing is required of him, because he wanted good for this son; he wanted good for him. Yes.
