Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, Salih is asking. He says: A man’s mother asked him to divorce his wife, or she would be angry with him. The man is torn between pleasing his mother and his wife. What should he do?
Answer:
As long as his wife is righteous and there is nothing in her that necessitates her divorce, such as a deficiency in her religion or harm to the husband or to the mother, it is not permissible for him to divorce her, because there is no cause for divorce. He can please his mother and convince her by explaining and clarifying the matter to her. Perhaps the mother suspected something or had a doubt, and he can remove that thing and that doubt from her mind. Yes.
