Issue Of Unblooded Sister And Rakshabandhan
I studied in a co-educational school. One day, I witnessed some boys harassing my classmate, who was from a Hindu family. I intervened, stopped them, and since then she has treated me like her real brother, while I have respected her as my sister. My family also treats her like a daughter. As part of a cultural tradition in India, she ties a Rakhi on my wrist every year.
Some religious scholars claim that this is a major sin and that I will be held accountable for it in the Hereafter. My question is: by accepting her as a sister and protecting her dignity, have I committed any sin? And specifically, is it permissible in Islam to participate in the Rakhi tradition, or is it prohibited? -

Saving some ones dignity is not sin.
Can you please elaborate what is rakhi tradition?
As a principle, we can not wear or do anything which has polytheistic bearing according verse 7:33. If this rakhi teadition has polithiestic bearing, you can politely explain why you cannot wear it. She will understand and respect your belief..
u can sincerly search for current practice association with polytheism, based on that, You can decide on this principle whether to wear it or not.

Rakshabandhan is a festival of Hindus in which a sister ties a thread on her brother’s hand to show respect and take promise for her safety
