A wife’s responsibilities towards her parents Question: What are the responsibilities of a married women towards her parents? Answer: Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah: The responsibilities of a married woman towards her parents are like those of any other woman. The rights of the parents remain both before and after marriage, but obedience to the husband takes precedence over obedience to the parents if there is a conflict.  If the command of the parents conflicts with the command of the husband, then what takes precedence is the command of the husband. But the Muslim husband and the Muslim wife must strive to avoid conflict with the parents, and strive to achieve harmony between them and their parents.  One of the matters to which the married woman should pay attention concerning her parents is that she should strive to visit them from time to time, and give them appropriate gifts even if they have no real material value. She should try to avoid letting her children’s misbehaviour annoy them when visiting them, and avoid telling them about marital disagreements.  Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Duwaysh (hafidhahullah); If her parents need money and she is able to spend on them, then it is obligatory for her to spend on them as much as she is able to. If she does not have money of her own, but she intercedes with her husband, if he has money, to help her parents, then she will be rewarded for that in sha Allah. This is part of honouring her parents. [al-Duwaysh (hafidhahullah), Fataawa Muwaq’e al-Islaam: al-Sou’ala al-Jou’ab, Fatwa no. 21737, Dated: 01. Rajab. 1422 , 18.

Narrated Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is not lawful for a woman (at the time of wedding) to ask for the divorce of her sister (i.e. the other wife of her would-be husband) in order to have everything for herself, for she will take only what has been written for her.” Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī, Vol.7, Ḥadīth No. 82 Translated by Muḥsin Khān | Taken From: Summarized Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī Page 898-896 | https://salafibookstore.com/product/sahih-al-bukhari-arabic-english/ ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما: I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ while he was on the pulpit speaking about charity, to abstain from asking others for some financial help and about begging others, saying, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is that of the giver and the lower (hand) is that of the beggar.” Bukhari 1429 Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allah's Apostle ﷺ said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is better for anyone of you to take a rope and cut the wood (from the forest) and carry it over his back and sell it (as a means of earning his living) rather than to ask a person for something and that person may give him or not." Bukhari 1470-1471 Narrated Umar bin Khattab رضي الله عنه: Allah's Apostle ﷺ used to give me something but I would say to him, "would you give it to a poorer and more needy one than l?" The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Take it. If you are given something from this property, without asking for it or having greed for it take it; and if not given, do not run for it."

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (رحمه الله تعالى) said: ❝...Texts state that abandoning it (the Prayer) is disbelief.

Fatwa no. 12961 Question: What is the ruling on someone who fasts on 'Eid day, despite knowing that it is 'Eid day? Answer: It is not permissible to fast on 'Eid day, based on the Sahih (authentic) Hadiths reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) that forbid observing Sawm (Fasting) on the days of 'Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Breaking the Fast) and 'Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice). Muslim scholars have agreed by Ijma' (consensus) on the prohibition of this, and it is incumbent upon anyone who does that to make Tawbah (repentance to Allah, (سبحانه وتعالى), and never to do it again. May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

They should forbid evil in a way that is best and teach in a way that is best with a good style, kindness, and leniency.

Muhammad ibn Ishaq (رحمه الله) said: اشتملَ فِعلُ إخوةِ يُوسُفَ عليهِ السَّلام على جرائمَ من قَطعِ الرَّحم، وعُقوقِ الوالدين، وقِلَّةِ الرَّأفةِ بالصغيرِ الذي لا ذنبَ له، والغدرِ بالأمانة، وتَركِ العهد والكذبِ مع أبيهم، وعفا اللهُ عنهم ذلك كلَّه؛ حتّى لا ييأسَ أحدٌ من رحمةِ الله. “The actions of the brothers of Yusuf, peace be upon him, comprised crimes such as severing family ties, disobedience to parents, lack of compassion towards a young child who had no sin, betraying a trust, breaking their covenant, and lying to their father. Yet Allah pardoned them for all of that so that no one would despair of the mercy of Allah. ” Tafsir al-Baghawi (2/412) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) said: ليس الخير في كثرة مالك وولدك، ولكن الخير أن يكثر عملك ويعظم حلمك، فإن أحسنت حمدت الله، وإن أسأت استغفرته. “Goodness is not in the abundance of your wealth and children. Rather, goodness is that your deeds increase and your forbearance becomes great. If you do well, you praise Allah, and if you do wrong, you seek His forgiveness.” ولا خير في الدنيا إلا لرجلين: رجل أذنب ذنوبًا فهو يتداركها بالتوبة، ورجل يسارع في الخيرات. “There is no good in this world except for two men: a man who committed sins and then remedies them with repentance, and a man who hastens towards good deeds.” Al-Tawbah by Ibn ‘Asakir: 33 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

Series: O Seeker of Good, Come Forth (4) The Prophet ﷺ said: “Perhaps a fasting person receives nothing from his fast except hunger and thirst, and perhaps a person who stands in the night prayer receives nothing from his standing except sleeplessness.” Sheikh Ibn Baaz -rahimahullah- said: “The underlying reason is that seeking closeness to Allah by abandoning permissible matters is not complete or perfected except after seeking closeness to Him by abandoning forbidden matters. Thus, the one who commits what is haram and then seeks closeness to Allah by abandoning permissible matters is like the one who abandons the obligatory duties and seeks closeness through voluntary acts.” [Source: Sharh Wadhai’f Ramadan, Ibn Baaz, pg. 71] ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth
