The Wife's Mother's Mistreatment and Cursing Her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Another woman says that her husband's mother, who is her maternal aunt, treats her well and also mistreats her. This mother lies about her in front of people and curses her. She asks: Is there a sin on me if I say to her, "Allah is sufficient for me against you, and He is the best Disposer of affairs," considering that she curses me and my children with diseases and evils? Will her curse be accepted, Honorable Shaykh, considering that I am wronged?
Answer:
You should be patient and seek reward from Allah. Respond to her bad treatment with good, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has commanded. Especially since she is your husband's mother. Respond to this with forgiveness, kindness, and tolerance, and Allah will set things right, if Allah wills. Yes.
