How can one deal with a mother who shows intellectual divergence from religion, refuses marriage to a committed woman, delays prayer, dislikes religious people, secretly practices divination for money, and believes that religion is in the heart, knowing that she raised her children and toiled for their sake, and how can she be advised when she shies away and gets angry when these matters are discussed?
If the mother neglects prayer, practices divination, and harbors hatred for the righteous, she is in grave danger. If the son is unable to advise her, he should ask his family members to advise her and pray for her guidance. If the father is capable of preventing her from these sins, he must be informed, because preventing one's mother from evil acts is considered an act of righteousness towards her.
