The mother must be just among her children, and the children must obey her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Please go ahead. Hello, yes. A question over the phone. Yes, she says: Some mothers, Honorable Shaykh, do not treat their children equally, preferring one over the other. One of the daughters says that she used to work in the house, but she has left that work. She asks: Is this considered undutifulness to the mother?
The Shaykh : The mother is required to be just among her daughters and sons as well. If she does not do so, she is sinful, but her lack of justice does not nullify her right to dutifulness and maintaining family ties. It is obligatory for the other daughters who have been wronged to fulfill the duty of dutifulness.
The presenter : Okay, here.
The Shaykh : And if that is resolved.
The presenter : The Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So we hope that Allah the Exalted will guide the mother.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and thank you to the sister who called. We will now take a call on the line with us. Please go ahead.
