A mother’s order to sever ties with the father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My mother forbids me and orders me not to visit my father or his second wife, and she is angry about it. I am afraid that if I cut off my father, that would be undutifulness to parents. Am I sinful for doing so, and what is your advice?
Answer:
Our advice is that you advise your mother and explain to her that severing ties is not permissible, and that it is not permissible for her to order the severing of family ties. It is not permissible for a person to sever his family ties, nor to obey anyone in severing family ties. Severing family ties is a sin. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 Neither the father nor anyone else. However, it is best to proceed with understanding and persuasion toward the mother. Yes.
