Does a son seeing his mother, whom her husband (the son's father) has forbidden him to see, nullify the husband's oath and lead to the wife's divorce?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Obedience to the father is not obligatory in continuous work for money to secure the expenses of marriage, because the marriage expenses are on the son if he has money. Also, the rent of the house where the son will live after his marriage is his responsibility, while the rent of the father's house is his responsibility if he has money, otherwise it falls upon all the children. The father does not have the right to prevent his son from visiting his mother, because that incites disobedience, and there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. The prohibition of the wife refers to the husband's intention.
