Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My question is for Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you). My father is an elderly man, over eighty years old. He has been separated from my mother for more than fifteen years. He has married another woman since his separation and lives with her in his house. The condition of the house is very, very bad; the house is in a truly deplorable state. He says: Whenever we naturally try to clean the house or help him, he scolds us and rebukes us. He says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, are we sinful for leaving our father in this state?
Answer:
You presented to him the removal of this appearance, and he prevented you from doing so. So you have fulfilled what is required of you, and praise be to Allah.
