Calling the Wife by the Title "Mother of the Believers"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man often calls his wife by this phrase, "Come up, O Mother of the Believers." Is that permissible?
Answer:
This is an exaggerated title. "Mother of the Believers" is the wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Is not the Mother of the Believers the mother of her children?
