Q: I like to know that if your husband forbids you to visit your mother with good reason, do you still go without his permission or abide by his command? She has done and said terrible things in past and I really want to see her, but in fear that she will control our lives and say and do those awful things again and cause us to be so stressed he thinks it’s wise I stay away. What does one do in this case?
A: Phone her, and the day your husband does not mind then meet her for a short while.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
