What will happen to Dajjal's parents?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
As far as we know, there is no mention neither in the Book of Allaah or the Sunnah of the Prophet about the fate of the parents of the Dajaal. Investigating this matter will not benefit the questioner at all. However, there is a narration reported by At-Tirmithi describing his parents but it is a weak narration. One should know that Allaah is not going to punish anyone because of the sin of another person. Allaah says (which means): {And every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.}[Qur'an 6:164]. Al-Qurtubi said about the interpretation of the above verse: 'It means that every person will only be accounted for what he has earned, and no soul will be held accountable for the sins of others, rather every soul will only be held accountable for its sins and punished for its sins.'
Allaah knows best.
