Dealing with an elderly grandmother who harms with her tongue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you), my grandmother is ninety years old, but she, Shaykh Salih, hurts my mother and my wife with her tongue. I cannot bear these actions, so I deal with her harshly. What do you advise us to do? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Her grandmother.
The questioner:
Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
She is an elder, so they should be patient with her and not be harsh with her. They should be patient with her, and, if Allah wills, they will be rewarded. Yes.
