The question

What is the way out of satanic whispers, and can God grant me justice in this world for the oppression and harm inflicted by my wife's family? What should I do about my feeling that I am a source of annoyance to others, and what do you advise me to do under these circumstances, knowing that I do not desire a divorce?

The answer

These thoughts are from Satan. When they come to you, seek refuge in Allah and do not despair of His mercy, for His forgiveness is greater than any sin. Short stature is not a defect that prevents marriage; rather, you were created to worship Allah and enjoy what He has permitted. The interference of the wife's family and their incitement is reprehensible and unjust, but their punishment cannot be ascertained because the unseen belongs to Allah, and forgiving them is better. You are not obliged to divorce your wife as long as she wishes to stay, and she is not required to obey her parents in leaving you. If her family insists, refer the matter to the Sharia court, and before that, involve wise people for reconciliation. Increase your supplications and sincerely turn to Allah.
