Q 6: If
a Muslim passer-by finds a non-Muslim suffering from hunger and thirst, should he rescue him?
Would he be rewarded for this?
A:
Yes, he is permitted to rescue him. In fact, he is required to rescue him and he will be rewarded for this because of the general meaning of the following Hadith in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
There is a reward for serving any animate.
(Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.) Also, this good deed may have good consequences; for example, this non-Muslim may be guided to Islam when he knows that Islam orders Muslims to do good in general.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
