السؤال (بالعربية)

لماذا نستحبُّ طلب الولد؟

Official Transcript (English)

It is recommended to seek children for the purpose of Jihad and supporting the religion. Sulayman (peace be upon him) said: 'I will surely go around to a hundred women tonight—or ninety-nine—each of whom will give birth to a horseman who will fight in the cause of Allah.' (Agreed upon).

الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)

نستحبُّ طلب الولد للجهاد ونصرة الدِّين، قال سليمان -عليه السَّلام-: لأطوفنَّ اللَّيلة على مائة امرأة أو تسع وتسعين كلهنَّ يأتي بفارس يجاهد في سبيل الله. (متَّفق عليه).
