Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Ahmad Sulayman, says: O Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), what is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding consuming forbidden wealth, especially by a married man who has children? Does that reflect upon the children? And does a sin befall them as a result of what the father did? Please inform us of this.
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to be cautious of that and to repent to Allah for what has passed. As for his children, it does not harm them; the sin is upon him. As for his wife and children, there is no sin upon them. However, it is not permissible for him to engage in the forbidden, rather he must be cautious of it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
