If a mother orders her son to divorce his wife, even though the wife is obedient, should he obey her?

The questioner : If a mother orders her son to divorce his wife, even though the wife is obedient to her husband, but?

The Shaykh : Even though the wife is what?

The questioner : Obedient.

The Shaykh : Obedient?

The questioner : I mean obedient, that is.

The Shaykh : Obedience to Allah is the only thing that is valid to attribute to anyone other than Allah.
Fine.

The questioner : Yes, but a quarrel occurred between her and the mother only; so she said to the son: Divorce her?

The Shaykh : This problem, unfortunately, occurs in the present age due to the corruption of upbringing and the society in which we live.
My answer to this, in brief, is that if this mother were like 'Umar ibn al-Khattab in knowledge of Islam and in what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has made lawful and what He has forbidden, and if she were in 'Umar's position regarding his fear of his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He); then if she said to the daughter: Divorce, she would have answered. But this is a fantasy within a fantasy; because we do not find among fathers one in whom we can trust to issue a ruling to the son if his father orders him to divorce his wife; because of what we know of fathers following their desires. I say this because it is established in the authentic hadith that 'Umar ordered his son Ibn 'Umar to divorce his wife, so he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned that to him; so he said to him: ; he ordered him to divorce his wife in obedience to his father; this is the text, but we do not have a text that a father or mother is equated with 'Umar in knowledge, righteousness, and piety, otherwise this equating would be from the category of comparing blacksmiths to angels, as some of them say.
Yes.
