The questioner : So, he asks: What is the ruling on a woman who insults her children while their father is absent?
The Shaykh : Insulting children by the father or mother, if it is in a manner that is not forbidden, such as if she says, "O stupid one," "O clumsy one," or similar words that do not reach the level of prohibition, then there is nothing wrong with it, provided there is a cause for it. However, if the insult is in a forbidden manner, such as if she curses him or falsely accuses him, then it is forbidden for her, whether their father is present or absent. Likewise, regarding the father, it is not permissible for him to insult his children with forbidden words, such as saying, "May Allah curse you," or "O children of fornication," or similar phrases, because this is forbidden and not permissible.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He also asks: A'edh 'Atiyyah from Jordan.
