Is the money you obtained after attempting to strangle your mother unlawful or lawful?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your attempt to strangle your mother is a grave sin, requiring immediate repentance through sincere remorse, a firm resolve not to repeat it, and an abundance of kindness towards her, striving to earn her رضا (satisfaction). Your statement: "My compensation is with Allah regarding my money, I do not want anything," is not considered a waiver of your right to inheritance, as the wording does not indicate such, and it was uttered under the influence of anger. Obedience to one's mother is obligatory in all matters that bring her benefit and cause you no harm. However, a mother does not have the right to prevent her adult, mature son from disposing of his money in a lawful manner.
