Dealing with a Non-Muslim Lesbian Mother-in-Law: My Dilemma

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My Husband’s mother is a non Muslim and lives as a lesbian. I don’t want to be seen in the road with her and do not like going there, nor do I want to send my daughter. My husband thinks I don’t like his mother but it’s the fact that her lifestyle is disgusting and I am trying to protect my daughter from this. Am I wrong in not wanting to be associated with her and don’t allow my daughter to go there without my husband or myself?

Bismillaah

A: You are correct.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
