Q: I live in an Egyptian village. Once I had an argument with my father about visiting and touching the graves of Awliya' (pious people) with veneration. He knows that I go to a specific Masjid (mosque) in our village where most of the people who frequent it do not adopt such deviating beliefs. When I tried to forbid him from what he is doing, he took an oath that I should not enter this Masjid again. He said, "If you enter this Masjid, your mother will be unlawful for me." I care for my brothers and I do not want to ruin the family by breaking this conditional oath. Nevertheless, I want to offer Salah (Prayer) behind an Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) who adheres to the principles of Tawhid (monotheism), because I am keen to enter Jannah (Paradise) and I know the prohibition of offering Salah behind those who excessively esteem the graves of righteous people. Will my mother be divorced if I enter this Masjid? If it is considered Zhihar (a man likening his wife to an unmarriageable relative) and I ask my father to offer Kaffarah (expiation) so that I will be able to enter the Masjid, will it be considered as precipitating something destined by Allah (Exalted be He); ruining the family? If it is Zhihar, will I be allowed to offer the Kaffarah from my father's money without his knowledge? What should I do? Please answer me in detail, simply and quickly. As-salamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you).
