The Wife of the Father in the Context of Dutifulness to Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says, or asks about dutifulness to parents. He asks: Does the father’s wife fall under this dutifulness?
Answer:
No, she is not a mother; rather, she is a mahram (a relative one may not marry). If you honor her for the sake of your father and for the sake of being kind to her, that falls under the category of kindness. It is not in the category of obligation, nor in the category of dutifulness to parents; rather, it is in the category of kindness and dutifulness to your father. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
