He says: I see that my mother does not like my wife. Is it better for me to divorce my wife so that I can make my mother happy and please her, knowing that my mother is a disbeliever and I have two sons?
The Shaykh:
No, do not divorce your wife. But be good to your mother, and do not divorce your wife as long as she has not disobeyed you, defied you, or sought harm against you. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

And I advise your wife also to treat your mother well for your sake. Yes.
