Interview with the Disbeliever Friend of the Mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a questioner from France who says: My mother is of French origin, and she is currently with a disbeliever man without marriage. She asked me to meet this friend of hers, but I refused, and that saddens her greatly. She believes in Allah, but she is far from worship and from good and obedience. I fear that if I refuse her request, she will move even further away from the religion of Islam. His question is: What should I do in this situation?
Answer:
Write your question to the Department of Ifta, and they will look into it, if Allah wills. Yes.
