Q: My mother insists if I don’t divorce my wife I would be in sin. She said I must listen to her. What do I do. I love my wife. We don’t have any problems. My mother approved our marriage. Now she is mad that we are from different tribes. (text)
A: Do not obey anyone when you are told to disobey Allah (SWT). If you love your wife, stay with her, do not divorce her. Likewise, be nice to your parents. Being nice to your parents does not mean you must obey them in matters that are contrary to the deen.
Allah Certainly Knows Best.
