Q: My mother in law ill treats me through her tongue. Her words are harsh and hurting. My husband is very supportive and a pious man. He takes care of my every need. I am three months pregnant. I feel stressed out all the time because of my mother in law hurtful words. I stay silent when she insults me. But then I suffer from anxiety and constant headaches. Please guide me how to overcome this problem.
A: Totally ignore her. Do what is right and just imagine that it is a person who is not right mentally. Don’t pay any attention to her whatsoever.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
