Will my parents be punished for my sins?

Question

i want to know that whether anyone else like my mother or father would be punished because of my sins.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

If you are an adult (baaligh) and you committed sins by yourself without your parents having played any part of you committing the sins, then you will be solely responsible for your sins. You parents will not be responsible for such sins committed by yourself.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Wassalam

Mufti Ebrahim Desai
