Q: If a woman brings her ill mother to her home as there is no one to look after her, but her husband is not pleased with that and mentally tortures her and gives her a very tough time. That woman gets angry on her mother and beats her. But later she realised and said sorry and felt very guilty. Is there any kuffara for that and if she really is guilty will Allah Ta’ala forgive her as she always asks forgiveness for her act and she is guilty by heart.
A: The kaffaarah is that show her a lot of kindness and promise Allah Ta`ala that you will never be impolite, and make fervent du`aas for her.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
