Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This man asks and says: My mother is a disbelieving woman. Is it permissible for me to visit her in her home?
Answer:
Yes, the right of the father is due, even if he is a disbeliever. Even if he is a disbeliever, he has a right: the right to be treated with dutifulness and kindness. But you do not follow him in his religion,[Luqman 31:15]. In religion, you do not obey them. As for being dutiful to them and being kind to them, that falls under the category of repaying kindness with kindness. Yes.
