Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman is asked by her mother to attend many invitations and visits to relatives. Yes. A woman is asked by her mother to attend many invitations and visits to relatives. And among these relatives there is a set of wrongs, such as listening to songs, watching women on the channels, and wearing immodest clothing. Her question is that she feels uncomfortable attending these wrongs, and she is also uncomfortable about not attending for fear of her mother’s anger. So what do you advise her to do?

Answer:
There is a distinction here. If her visiting them brings a benefit in calling them to the truth and forbidding them from the wrong, perhaps they will leave these things, and she hopes that they will leave them, then this is required. She should obey her mother in that. But if the visit is without forbidding the wrong and without clarification, then there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. She should not obey her mother in that.
