Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is forbidden (haram) to attribute one’s lineage to anyone other than one’s real father.
➋ The meaning of “will not smell the fragrance of Paradise” is that such a person will never enter Paradise, nor will he even come close to it.
➌ Its implication is that he will go to Hell, except if Allah, due to some great good deed of his or by His special mercy, forgives him.
