The ruling on a mother saying: “Allah does not love you”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question from one of the sisters. She says: Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on a mother saying to some of her children when they do something wrong, meaning a mistake that involves violating a religious ruling, especially if the child is of the age of accountability, that “Allah will be angry with you” or “Allah will not put you in Paradise” or “Allah does not love you,” with the aim of educating them, Shaykh?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her to attribute to Allah that He does not love him because He will not put him in Paradise. But she should say: This is forbidden, repent to Allah, leave it, and stay away from it.
