Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man’s mother ordered him to divorce his wife. Should he obey her?
Answer:
Allah says in the matter: If she is undutiful to her mother and causes her harm, he should obey her. But if the woman is good and there is no disagreement, he is not required to obey his mother; however, he should excuse himself with good excuses and a good manner. As for if the wife causes harm to his mother, curses her, and hurts her, it is obligatory to obey his mother in this case; he should not keep a wife who causes her harm.
