The ruling on the Hajj of one whose mother is angry with him and how to appease her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I ask you about the ruling on one who performed Hajj while his mother was upset with him before the blessed 'Id al-Fitr. He tried to appease her but could not. Every time he came to greet her and try to please her, she hid from him while he was in the house. What is the ruling on the Hajj? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The Hajj is valid, but he must strive to appease her. He should identify the causes, know the reasons, and take measures to remove them. If the cause was that she asked for money and he did not give it to her, he should give it to her. If the cause was that he was responsible for his sister and he was not treating her well, or if he was mistreating his brother or sister, he should stop. If the cause was that he was committing a sin, such as neglecting the prayers, he should be diligent in performing the prayers. If the cause was that he was doing something she did not like, he should leave it, and so on. He should know the causes; she is not upset with him without reasons. He should strive to remove the causes, unless the matter involves a sin. No, he does not obey her in sins. If a person is told, "Do not pray," he does not obey her. Or if she says, "Steal the wine," he does not obey her. But if she asks him for something known and permissible, let him fear Allah and hasten to do what pleases her. Being dutiful to her is among the most important matters. Yes.
