Respecting one's mother
Q: How does one deal with ones mother who has chosen to marry for the 4th time?
Being married, my husband and myself are constantly fighting because he is disgraced that my mother has taken another husband (the man is a sheikh). My husband worries that because my mother has not received blessing from her children or her mother, therefore she is doomed to fail in her marriage. Is it correct to feel anger towards ones mother and is it correct of my husband to show any disrespect to her if he does not agree with her choice? I feel as if I have to choose between my husband and my mother?
A: It is not right for you to show disrespect to her because of these unfortunate situations. Don't get involved in these things. As long as no clear haraam appears in her life maintain a respectful and loving relationship.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
