Obedience to the Mother in Divorcing the Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a man’s mother orders him to divorce his wife, he should obey her.
The Shaykh:
Allah says in this matter: if it is undutifulness to his mother and harm to his mother, he obeys her. But if the woman is good and there is no conflict, he is not required to obey his mother; rather, he should excuse himself with good excuses and a good manner. However, if the wife harms his mother, curses her, and annoys her, it is obligatory to obey his mother in this case; he should not keep a wife who harms her.
