Everyone is responsible for their own crime
Hadith 1239
- " ألا لا يجني جان إلا على نفسه، لا يجني والد على ولده ولا مولود على والده ".
Sayyiduna Amr bin Ahwas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying at the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Beware! Every sinner will only harm himself. A father cannot harm his son, nor can a son harm his father (i.e., both will be responsible for their own crimes)."
