Will foundlings go to Hell?
Question: 33853
Does the hadeeth “All flesh that grew from haraam, the Fire is more suited for it” apply to foundlings?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
The hadeeth mentioned is general with regard to consuming haraam things, and it is one of the
ahaadeeth that contain a warning. It does not include foundlings at all, because the foundling has committed no sin, so neither he nor anyone else
can be held to account for the sin of another. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden
of another”
[al-An’aam 6:164]
