Advice to a son who strives to be dutiful to his mother, who is not pleased with him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the southern part of Sinai in the Arab Republic of Egypt, the listener: 'Abdi Husayn Zaydan sent a message saying: I work in a city about eight hundred kilometers from my hometown, and I have moved my wife and children to my place of work. I have a mother who lives in her own residence, and I gave her the key to my housing in the same village, but she refused. I also sent her a sum of money to spend from, but she refused that as well. I have two brothers who live in the same village. Is there any sin on me for this? Does my mother’s refusal of any help from me make me undutiful? I am confused about my situation. I ask for guidance. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
There is no blame on you for that, if Allah wills. You have done well and fulfilled what is required of you in terms of dutifulness. Your two brothers also have their share of dutifulness. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [Al-Mumtahanah: 12]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani) It is not customary to prevent you from traveling for your interests and what benefits you. You have fulfilled what is obligatory for you in terms of financial maintenance if she is in need of it, even though your brothers may be able to do what is necessary.
So, the result is that you should look after her needs. If you have done what is necessary, you are excused, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
