Is a mother entitled to not forgive a woman who has wronged her and to refuse to speak with her to avoid problems?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman insults your mother and attributes to her what she did not do, she must repent sincerely. Your mother has the right to shun her to avoid her evil, but forgiveness is better, especially if there is a kinship tie. In this, there is great reward and honor in this world and the hereafter. Your mother can also have some women bear witness to the aggressor's admission of her mistake to deter her.
