Boycoting the disobedient in-laws of a wife and preventing the wife from visiting them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to boycott my wife's family, given that they have harmed me in my wife and in my life? I have sworn an oath not to attend any of their gatherings. Is it permissible for me to prevent my wife from seeing them, considering that they do not pray and they commit many sins? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, there is no blame on you for boycotting them, and there is no blame on you for preventing your wife from going to them until they repent, so that they do not harm her or change her. However, my advice is to be diligent in advising them and calling them to good, both from you and from your good brothers, perhaps Allah will accept it from you. This is better: advise them and direct them. If they persist in doing what is wrong and abandoning prayer, they deserve to be boycotted by you and by your wife, all of you. Do not go to them, and let them not come to you. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for them.
