Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: My mother prevents me from going to the funeral prayer, and she says, "Do not go to the mosque where the funeral prayer is performed; sit here." She says this without any reason. Am I required to obey her in this?
The Shaykh:
No, tell him: "I did not go." Say, "I did not go," and she does not know about you. Go and pray over the deceased to receive the reward, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable.
The Shaykh:
Do not upset her and say, "I want to go." Do not say that. Say, "If Allah wills, if Allah wills." Go and do good, and do not tell her about it. Yes.
