Calling mother by her own name


671

Q 1: Is it wrong for a person to call their mother by her own name? If the answer is in the affirmative or the negative, kindly mention the evidence for either opinion.


A: A Muslim should respect his parents and treat them kindly, for Allah (Exalted be He) ordered us to show benevolence towards them in His saying, And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. Accordingly, you should call your mother in a dignified and respected manner, and beware of speaking badly to her, or you will be committing a great sin, because undutifulness to parents is one of the major grievous sins.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
