Is obedience to the parents obligatory in the divorce of the wife?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner: If one of the parents asks his son to divorce his wife, does he obey them in that?
The Shaykh:
If they ask.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. If one of the parents asks his son to divorce his wife, does he obey them in that? And if he does not do so, is he considered undutiful to them?
The Shaykh:
No, obedience to them is not obligatory in that, because they have no right to intervene in the divorce of his wife without a legitimate religious cause, just for personal desire or for the sake of the self. No, this is not permissible; it is forbidden for them to intervene in this, and he does not obey them either. This is his right. Yes.
