Question:
My third husband abused my daughter. I didn’t find out till we separated. I have had a turbulent life and feel responsible. She used to pray and fast and has totally gone the opposite way. She has no belief. I am terrified of the consequences for her and me in this world and the next. She is my only child from second marriage.How should I handle her in view that she self harms?
Answer:
Your love speaks more to her than any sermon. Treat her with utmost leniency and tenderness and leave the rest to Allah Most High. He will make up for what she has endured and for the theft of her innocence through your prayers and He will bless you here and hereafter in sha Allah.
