Imam Musa ibn Ja' far (a.s) was asked about the major sins. He wrote: “The major sins are those sins which God has promised the punishment of Hell and you should avoid them. If you are a believer, then your other sins will be covered up. There are seven major sins which will take you to Hell: murder, damnation of parents, usury, immigration from an Islamic environment, accusing pious women of fornication, devouring the properties of an orphan, escaping from a holy war.”
عن أبي الحسن (عليه السلام)
سأله عن الكبائر كم هي وما هي؟ فكتب: الكبائر من اجتنب ما وعد الله عليه النار كفر عنه سيئاته إذا كان مؤمنا، والسبع الموجبات: قتل النفس الحرام، وعقوق الوالدين، وأكل الربا، والتعرب بعد الهجرة، وقذف المحصنة، وأكل مال اليتيم، والفرار من الزحف.
