Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man says: My father passed away (may Allah have mercy on him) and left behind an elderly, sick wife. He says: We do not know what is required of us toward this woman up to now.
Answer:
She had a guardian from among her relatives, and he is the one who attends to her affairs. However, if she has no guardian, then treat her well and look after her, and you will be rewarded for it. This is part of cooperating in righteousness and piety. Yes.
