My mother lives alone in a house and she suffers greatly because of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says, O honorableThe Shaykh : My mother lives alone in a house and she suffers greatly because of it. So I wanted to bring her to live with me in my house. But my wife refused, and I tried every kind way to convince her, but to no avail. Is it permissible for me to divorce my wife because of this?
The Shaykh : This depends on the conditions. Is the mother insistent on her son moving her to his house? That is one point.
Second: Does he have children from this wife such that if he divorced her, the children would be scattered and harm would result? Is it possible for him to rent a house next to his own, place his mother there, and have a door between them so he can enter her place and she can enter his? If this is possible, it is obligatory. I cannot say right now: divorce your wife, because I fear that the mother is not insistent on the matter and is content with her current situation and it does not concern her. I also fear that divorcing the wife would lead to the scattering of the children and much harm. So I ask Allah the Exalted to make it easy for him to bring together himself, his mother, and his wife in a proper manner. Yes.
