Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Shaykh Salih, some mothers cannot stand their son's wife, and likewise, some wives cannot stand their husband's mother. Consequently, a situation arises, as it did between this woman and her husband's mother. Is there a word for both parties, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
There is no doubt that women are weak in intellect and weak in religion, and they have excessive jealousy. This leads to what happens among them, such as mutual hatred, enmity, severing ties, and other negative outcomes. However, the woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day overcomes this Satanic tendency and this bad inclination, so she is not affected by it, and she must deal with it. There must be some misunderstanding among women, especially between co-wives, or between a wife and her husband's mother, or between her husband's sisters, or others. Therefore, patience and endurance are necessary, and forgiveness and pardon are necessary, and reconciliation is necessary, and blocking the Satanic doors and psychological inclinations is necessary. These matters are treated by what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has commanded: doing good to the one who does wrong, forgiving him, and repaying evil with good. Also, seeking refuge in Allah from Shaytan, because the origin of these matters is Shaytan. Shaytan intervenes and causes enmity between people, especially between relatives and family members. So, whoever finds something of this should seek refuge in Allah from this Shaytan, for whoever seeks refuge in Allah, Allah will protect him and suffice him against the evil of this enemy. These matters have a cure, but this requires two things: first, knowing the beneficial cure, and second, using it in the correct manner. Yes.
