The Ruling on Severing Ties with the Husband’s Mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asking says that she lives on the upper floor with her husband’s family, and when she goes down to visit her mother, she encounters problems and matters with her in-laws that disturb her life, even though she is on good terms with her husband. She asks: If I sever ties with my husband’s mother and stop visiting them, will I be considered one who severs family ties? We ask the Shaykh for advice.
Answer:
This is not a blood relative; it is a matter of in-laws, not a blood relative. However, you must be kind to your husband’s mother, be kind to her, please her, and not argue with her. If she is pleased, praise be to Allah. If she is not pleased and she gets angry at your coming, do not go to her, because the cause came from her side. Yes.
