What is the ruling regarding parents who allow their son to commit adultery because he is young?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Adultery is a grave sin that the has forbidden. Allah has prescribed its punishment as the legal Hadd (prescribed punishment) in this world and torment in the Hereafter. A child is a trust given to their parents, and it is their right upon them to raise them with goodness and keep them away from corruption. When a child grows up and becomes attached to women, they should be encouraged to marry, and efforts should be made to ensure their chastity. They should not be given any leeway to fall into adultery. Whoever assists them in that bears a burden of sin, and "Religion is advice."
