Ithm (إثم)

The Sin, Bad Deeds

فَمَنْ خَافَ مِنْ مُوصٍ جَنَفًا أَوْ إِثْمًا فَأَصْلَحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ {182}

But the one who fears from a testator, either an injustice or a sin, so he reconciles between them, then there is no ‘إِثْمَ’ sin upon him. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [2:182]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَطْلَقَ لِلْمُوصَى إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ الْوَصِيَّةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا حَيْفٌ وَ يَرُدَّهَا إِلَى الْمَعْرُوفِ لِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَنْ خافَ مِنْ مُوصٍ جَنَفاً أَوْ إِثْماً فَأَصْلَحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from his men who said,

He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Released it for the executor that he can change the bequest when it does not happen to be with the goodness, and there was injustice in it, and return it to the goodness, due to His-azwj Words, the Mighty and Majestic But the one who fears from a testator, either an injustice or a sin, so he reconciles between them, then there is no sin upon him [2:182]’.[1]
