The ruling on sons preventing a widow from remarrying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm 'Abdullah says to you, O Shaykh: I have four children, and my husband passed away when I was forty-one years old. Some of the daughters and sons have prevented me from remarrying, and the eldest of them said to me: "Raise the children and remain in a state of reward, and leave off the idea of marriage."
Answer:
In any case, they have no authority to prevent you. However, if they advise you to devote yourself to raising the young children, because marriage would distract you from their upbringing and the new husband might not be willing to be with them, then you will be rewarded, if Allah wills. Yes.
