A son disappearing and the father searching for him in vain


362

Q: I have a grown-up son who, after getting married, disappeared. I searched for him everywhere in the Kingdom, but did not find him. He has been missing for two years now and I do not know whether he is alive or dead. He never asked about me nor sent a letter to me during this period. Am I to blame if I give up searching for him? Guide me, may Allah guide you. As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon you!)


A: You are not to blame if you give up looking for him. As for the wife, she can bring the case to court.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
