Question:
Assalamwalaikum
Attention of Shaykh Hisham or Shaykh Gabriel please.
Please advise,
My in-laws mistreat me, I married their daughter 8 yrs ago. They make comments about my jobs, where we live, money. I’m human, I also want money and a big house, but mashallah Allah has provided me with more than enough. My wife and I are happy and have three beutiful children mashallah. My wife is not a relative and we both married out of the family.
My mother-in-law is the head of there family, my father-in-law let’s her make the decisions.
She said on a few occasions to my wife that I should keep my distance, so about two years ago I stopped going around. My children are also shown little attention from that side.
This situation makes me very angry at times but I manage to control myself. What can I do.
Thank you in advance
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You are blameless, so do not be angry but bear with patience for ajr here and hereafter. Your greater duty is to your own parents and dependants anyway.
