Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Abu Sa’id says: Honorable Shaykh, we ask for clarification of the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in several places, or of the Companion’s saying, “I sacrifice my father and mother for you.”
Answer:
This falls under the category of ransom, meaning the person addressed is ransomed by his father and mother. This is done when the person addressed holds a high status in knowledge and action. They say this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) out of respect for him. In reality, this applies only to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); no one else reaches the rank of being ransomed by one’s father and mother. Yes.
