Forcing the mother to travel with him because she cannot take care of herself

626

Q: What should a person do with his very old blind mother that refuses to move to his village, as there is no one to look after her. She does not want to go by a car or a plane. Should he force her (Part No. 25; Page No. 120) to go with him?

A: If the matter is as you have described that the mother is very old and there is no one to look after her, the questioner cannot stay with her and cannot afford someone to look after her and his wife will compassionately take care of her, he should force her to go with him for her interest, so that his wife can take good care of her for the rest of her life. He can use tricks to get her into the car. For example, he can tell her that he wants to take her on a picnic, etc. And then take her to where he lives.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
