Obedience to the mother in the divorce of the wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, Shaykh, if a man intends to divorce his wife, he should obey.
Answer:
The ruling depends on the situation. If she is undutiful to her mother, or if she has caused harm to her mother, he should obey her. But if the woman is good and has no bad character, he is not required to obey his mother in this; rather, he should make excuses for her with good reasons and a kind manner. However, if the wife is harming his mother, cursing her, and causing her distress, it is obligatory for him to obey his mother in this case; he should not keep a wife who harms her.
