Question:
Assalaamualaikum ya Shuyookh,
I had a disturbing dream.The parts I remember are:my wife & I were arguing then became intimate, she became small like a baby. My mother came asking about argument. I told her to leave us as we were intimate.While leaving she called my father to”look at what is going on”i.e. the argument. I woke up & heard her shouting at my father, and then at my brother. I sensed she would say something about my wife to me, I avoided it by quickly leaving for work. Relations between my wife & mother aren’t great. I’m doing a balancing act.
That evening I felt very sick & weak. At night my wife told me that our daughter fell off the bed & bled from the nose.An hour back her finger was cut when she touched an open tin..Everything happened when I was feeling sick. JazakAllah khair.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Seek refuge in the Prophet’s (upon him blessings and peace) command to not be angry but kind and merciful with your wife at all times, and to show respect to your mother and respond to her and leave everything else even if you are in the midst of prayer let alone the rest. Finally you need to provide a separate space for your wife as her living under the same roof with your parents is a violation of her right for which you will be held accountable on Qiyama.
