Staying with a disbelieving mother to serve her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I embraced Islam ten years ago, praise be to Allah, and then I emigrated to a Muslim country. My younger brother recently embraced Islam, and my mother is not a Muslim. She is divorced and will be alone in France when my brother comes. What is the ruling on this, given that she is a disbeliever?
Answer:
If she needs your brother, let him stay with her to serve her and be dutiful to her, even if she is a disbeliever, because the right of a parent is not dropped, and the right of dutifulness is not dropped even if the parent is a disbeliever.[Luqman 31:15] So if she needs him to stay with her, he stays with her, or he is dutiful to her, or he serves her, while holding firm to his religion and calling her to Islam, so that perhaps Allah will guide her and she will embrace Islam through his hands.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,

But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّThe presenter:
