Allah (SWT) says in Noble Qur'an: "Kill not your children for fear of want.
We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing
of them is great sin."
Noble Qur'an (17: 31)
Once a Companion, Sahabi (Allah be pleased with him) submitted to
the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):
"O Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
which is the greatest sin?"
Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed:
"Polytheism"
The Companion, Sahabi (Allah be pleased with him) again submitted:
"And what next?"
Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed:
"Disobedience to parents"
The Companion, Sahabi (Allah be pleased with him) submitted for
the third time: "And which sin is the greatest next to it?"
Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed:
"To kill your children fearing that they will share your sustenance."
