EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us about responsibility and accountability. He explains that if a child is born as a result of an illegal sexual intercourse, then the owner of the bed will be held responsible for it. This means that even if two people engage in an unlawful act, one person cannot escape their responsibility and accountability towards any resulting children. The Prophet ﷺ also mentions a punishment for those who commit such acts - they should be stoned to death according to Islamic law. This hadith serves as a reminder to all Muslims to stay away from unlawful activities and remain accountable for their actions at all times. It also teaches us about justice and fairness - no matter what someone has done wrong, they should still be held accountable and not allowed to escape their responsibilities towards any resulting children or consequences of their actions.
