Summary

Every person who has reached puberty and is of sound mind bears his or her own sins, not parents, siblings or a husband. Parents or guardians are considered at fault if they let their children sin without advising or preventing wrongdoing. All family members are encouraged to advise one another, including knowledgeable siblings, with patience and a good approach.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Setiap aqil baligh, dosanya ditanggung sendiri, bukan ibu ayah, adik beradik, mahupun suami.
