A person carried out an armed action against the state, which led to the state confiscating his father's wealth. Does this person have wronged his brothers by this action?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A second question, if you please. One of the brothers says: A person made an armed effort, meaning against a state.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Peace be upon you. May you be remembered with good.
Another questioner : As a result of this armed action he carried out, his father's wealth was confiscated. So here, who is considered to have been wronged? Does he have any responsibility toward his brothers, given that he was the cause of this aggressive action?
The Shaykh : Without a doubt, he bears responsibility, but the responsibility differs entirely between the case where he knows that by taking up arms, what happened would follow, and the case where he did not know it and was not aware of it. The former is certainly much more serious. Then, in the other case, if someone were to draw his attention and say to him, "My son, do not do this action, for it may result in harm to your father and your brothers," and he did not care, then he is clearly responsible. But if his mind was inattentive, then his sin is only his going out.
The questioner: Whoever it is.
The Shaykh : In any case, it is not in that vein.
The questioner : If he had vowed to Allah to do such an action.
The student : I ask your permission, my Shaykh. Please grant us permission, for by Allah, I am tied to an appointment.
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Peace be upon you. May you be remembered with good.
