What is the ruling on one who calls his mother "my Paradise," alluding to the hadith "Paradise is under the feet of mothers"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no impediment to calling one's mother "Ya Jannati" (O my Paradise), because it is a correct and beautiful meaning, and it aligns with the hadiths that command adherence to one's mother and that Paradise is at her feet. This is despite the fact that the "Paradise is beneath the feet of mothers" has been weakened by some scholars, such as Sheikh Al-Albani.
