Dutifulness to the Mother and Returning the Price of What Is Bought for Her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I wish to be dutiful to my mother and buy what she needs, but when I buy something for her, she gives me the price for it, and this embarrasses me. His question is: Does this embarrass me?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Should I offer the dutifulness and not take from her, or should I offer what she considers appropriate?
The Shaykh:
Take it to please her and spend it on her. Be happy with it; it is also a need of hers. Return it to her in a way that makes her feel comfortable.
