Living with the Mother and Obedience to the Wife and Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question directed to your eminence from one of the brothers who is seeking your advice. He says: Honorable Shaykh, my mother wants me to live in the apartment below theirs, but my wife and children refuse this residence. Please advise me: if I obey my wife and children, will I be undutiful to my mother?
Answer:
We do not know what the objection is in this matter; what is your mother's objection? However, the more you please her and satisfy her, the better it is for you. If the ground-floor apartment or the one below your mother is suitable for your wife and children, you should have them live there, even if they do not agree, because the mother's satisfaction takes precedence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
