One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Assalamu Alaikum (Varah)
I want to really appreciate for you hardwork, And May
Allah (SWT) give you the strength to continue you Dawa.
I have question: I hear from many - that if either
of the parents committed some kind of sin or mistake knowingly or
unknowingly, will it affect the child(health, future....etc) according to
Islam. Please quote from (Quran and Hadith)
Jazak Allah Kheir.

Answer:
Parents sin effect
children
In the name of Allah,
We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah
Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the
seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: .I hear from many - that if either of
the parents committed some kind of sin or mistake knowingly or
unknowingly, will it affect the child (health, future....etc) according to
Islam.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam Verse 164:
Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer
of burdens can bear the burden of another.
Your goal in the end is toward Allah: He will tell you the Truth of the
things wherein ye disputed.
Every
soul draws the meed of its actions on none but itself! If one transgresses the prescribed boundaries
of Allah Subhanah and commissions a sin, they themselves shall bear its
consequences and will be held responsible for it. The child or off-spring will
be absolutely innocent of the sin commissioned by their parents, nor will the
sins of ones parents affect the health or future of the child in the unseen
in any way whatsoever!
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
