Question:
Honorable Shaykh, in reality, in such family matters, some fathers and mothers, O Shaykh Salih, intervene in the affairs of their children. Perhaps you have some guidance on that?
Answer:
The obligatory thing is to reconcile. As for intervening to separate a husband and wife, that is not permissible. But it is obligatory to reconcile between the husband and wife if something of misunderstanding occurs between them. The father must intervene to reconcile between them for the sake of the matter. This is what is obligatory. Yes.
