The ruling on a child who dies without a cause from his mother and praying for him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, the mother of Ibrahim, wrote this question, saying: Your Eminence! I had a son who was thirteen years old. He had a pigeon that he raised on the second floor of the building. He went out with the pigeon, but the place where he put the pigeon was dangerous, and his brothers and his cousins would climb up to it. I wanted to warn him that that place was dangerous, but I did not speak to him. He stayed there for ten days, then he fell from the place where he had put the pigeon, and he died. Did he die because of me? My question, Your Eminence, is: Is there anything on my account? He was seven months old, and I am praying for him. Is this permissible?
Answer:
You owe nothing, and praise be to Allah, because you did not cause his death. And do not pray for him; you are not permitted to pray for him, as long as he climbed up to the pigeon coop while being a person of discernment.
The point is: you owe nothing, because you did not cause anything. Yes.
