Question:
Salaamu Alaikum, I have a problem that need advice from Sheikh Hisham inshallah. Me + my husband live with my parents + there has been some sort of friction between my husband + especially my mother. It now has increased where it is affecting me + my husband. We have considered moving out but I don’t think I can as my mother is ill and she relies on me a lot.Which also then doesn’t allow enough time for me + my husband to spend time together. I feel I am stuck in the middle as the 2 people that are close to me, my husband + my mother,don’t get on together fully. Sometimes they get on a lot but then something happens out of the blue which spoils it. My mother also has very bad nerves which contributes to the problems. I don’t know what to do anymore. Can you please give me advice + dua. JazakAllah khair.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
It is heart rending but you need to turn over this decision to your husband, as your duty is to him first and foremost.
