The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the mother like the father in revoking a gift? Or is this
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
Is the mother like the father in revoking a gift, or is this specific to the father?
The Shaykh:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. The father has specific rights, and the mother has specific rights. It is a matter of disagreement, and what appears to be the case, and Allah knows best, is that she is not like the father.
The questioner:
And does she have the right to take from her son’s wealth?
The Shaykh:
If we say she is like the father, then she has the same rights as him. Yes.
