I am a young man living with my mother, who is advanced in age, and my life with her was happy, but after some years her treatment of me changed and her love turned into hatred
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says that he is a young man who is thirty-five years old. He says: I have my mother, who is advanced in age, and I live with her in the house. My life with my mother from childhood was beautiful and filled with happiness, until the year 1401 AH, approximately, when her treatment of me began to change. Love became hatred, and my life with her became very difficult, O honorable Shaykh. He says: This torment that I endured for approximately fourteen years, I will summarize it for your honor, hoping to find the satisfying and clear answer that is derived from our lenient Shari'ah.
The Shaykh : I see that it is obligatory for you to be patient with these questions that your mother asks you, because it does not harm you to say to her, "I went to such and such, and I went to such and such." And in my opinion, she does not ask these questions except because of the love in her heart for your well-being and how you spend your life. And does it harm you in any way if you say, "I did such and such, and I did such and such, and I did such and such"? But Satan whispers to you that if she asks you these questions, it is as if your status has been lowered, and as if she has placed you in the position of a child. This is a whisper from Satan. If you had thought about it, you would have seen that her question means intense compassion for you.
