What is the ruling on dealing with non-Muslim children who lie about Islam, and should the mother try to win their affection after they have rejected her? What is the ruling on the relationship between a wife and her non-Muslim son-in-law and his mother who caused problems? And will a Muslim be held accountable on the Day of Judgment for the disbelief of their relatives?
The child before puberty follows the better of his parents in religion, and he is judged to be Muslim, following his mother. If he reaches puberty and chooses disbelief, he becomes an apostate.
The mother should treat her children well and strive to win their hearts to guide them.
The husband of the daughter is a to her, and the difference in religion does not prevent mahramiya.
The wife must honor her mother and treat her kindly, even if she is a disbeliever. However, if she hopes for a benefit from shunning her, she may do so.
If a disbeliever owes a right, then retribution will be taken from him for its owner on the Day of Judgment. The disbelieving mother of the wife has no right to custody of the wife's children, due to her being a disbeliever.
