Does God answer a mother's prayer against her son out of God's wrath and displeasure, even if the son is righteous and obedient, and does God's wrath and displeasure befall him in this case?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A parent's supplication against their child is answered. However, Allah's mercy and forbearance prevent the answering of a supplication uttered unintentionally in a state of anger. Similarly, a mother's supplication against her child is answered when the child wrongs her or disobeys her. It is forbidden to supplicate against one's children. The questioner should be careful not to anger his mother and should strive to honor and obey her. If he repents and has a good opinion of Allah, then Allah will forgive slips and errors.
