The Criterion of Some Statements by Preachers and Sermon Givers and Their Validity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Many preachers and imams in their Friday sermons say: "The one who worships does not die; do as you please, for as you worship, so shall you be judged."And he mentions the poet's saying:
And whoever commits zina, his descendants will commit zina, even if it be with his wall.
So are these statements valid in light of the legal principle: (And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another)?The Shaykh: No, but a hadith has been reported: "Whoever is lenient, his children will be lenient, and whoever commits zina, his children will commit zina". So this is a sign of the man's ill omen upon his descendants.
And with this, this meeting ends.
