Preventing children from greeting their father's second wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for her to prevent her children from going to and greeting their father's second wife?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for her to do that, and this is not in her own interest. It is obligatory for her to get along with the second wife and settle their affairs, and this is better than conflict, quarreling, and boycotting.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
He committed a sin. He did not commit a sin. He did something that Allah made permissible for him. Yes.
