Aggression against the mother and sisters and the son's position regarding it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I hope Your Eminence the Shaykh will issue a ruling for me on my question. I am married, and I have two daughters from my wife, and I have a son, and my mother, and five sisters, and there are no males other than me.
The Shaykh:
Repeat. Repeat.
The questioner:
I am married, and I have two daughters from my wife, and I have—perhaps my father and my mother, or a father and a mother. And five sisters, and there are no males other than me. I do not provide for this family. I am residing in the Kingdom, and about seven months after my arrival in the Kingdom, a discussion took place between me and my wife, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you.
The questioner:
May Allah guide you and keep you safe and bless you. A discussion took place between me and my wife and my mother, so my wife and her six brothers beat my mother and my sisters in our home, until the beating resulted in treatment in the hospital for my mother and my sisters, and they did not respect the sanctity of the home or my absence, despite that; because my father was not in the home on the day of the incident.
So what is the opinion of the religion on that matter, even though my father was not able to raise my sisters, and I am the only provider for the family at that moment. Please inform me about this, may Allah reward you with good, and the matter has been ongoing for six months?
The Shaykh:
This is a family matter between you. We advise you to be wise in it, not to be hasty in matters, to please your sisters and your mother with kind words, to reprimand your wife's family as much as you can, and to reconcile between them, to reconcile between them in what you are able to do. If your mother and your sisters are not pleased, then the court. The court looks into their aggression against them. If you reconcile between them with what you are able to do, with kind words or with money they pay to your mother and your sisters, you and your good brothers mediate between them for reconciliation, then that is better. If they do not facilitate reconciliation, then the court looks into their aggression against your mother and your sisters. May Allah improve the situation for everyone.
