The ruling on a mother’s intense fear for her adolescent children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking me: A sister is afraid for her three children, who are of adolescent age, and she has an intense fear that is more than necessary. Is this fear justified, given that on some days she orders them to pray in the house and perform the prayers at home, unless their father is with them, in which case they go to the mosque?
Answer:
This intense fear is waswas (whispers of Satan); leave this matter. As for fearing for them from corruption or from bad influences, that is justified. But as long as their father is present, praise be to Allah, or their older brother, they accompany them to the mosque and take care of them, and there is no fear for them, if Allah wills. And the community is a Muslim community, praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
