Benefit: Two Boys Ask about Stepmothers and Lineage and a Married Couple Who Enter Islām
In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Ustādh Mūsá Richardson answers questions from two boys concerning the status of a stepmother in regards to lineage and the status of a (married) couple who embrace Islām, having been unchaste pre-Islām. This exchange exemplifies the need and benefit in entertaining such topics from boys and girls, should they show a desire (and maturity) to understand them. Sheltering children from topics of relationships whilst exposing them to the vulgarity of popular culture and lowly discourse in society (via school etc.) is harmful and counterproductive.

قال: لا يختلف المسلمون أن ترك الصلاة المفروضة عمدا من أعظم الذنوب وأكبر الكبائر وأن إثمه عند الله أعظم من إثم قتل النفس وأخذ الأموال ومن إثم الزنا والسرقة وشرب الخمر وأنه متعرض لعقوبة الله وسخطه وخزيه في الدنيا والآخرة
