The Ruling on Reconciling with One’s Mother-in-Law
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. She complains about her mother-in-law, her husband’s mother, and says that she frequently causes problems between her and her husband. She also prays against her often, saying, “May Allah not grant her any child other than the one she has with her.” She tries to get her son to divorce her so that he can provide her with another woman. In this case, she seeks your advice, Shaykh Salih. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Reconciliation between her and her husband’s mother is necessary. Reconciliation means that she should consult with her in a wise manner, treating her with gentleness, kindness, and goodness. If Allah wills, what is in her heart will disappear.
The presenter:
May Allah.
The Shaykh:
If you are gentle with her, treat her well, and do not argue with her, then gentleness, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, only adorns whatever it is included in. There is no way other than this. Yes.
