Hitting or reviling the mother

Q 2: What is the ruling on a person beating their mother or insulting her?


A: Beating or insulting the mother is a kind of filial disobedience which is one of the major sins. Allah (Exalted be He) says, ...say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. It is obligatory upon whoever commits this to hasten to repent to Allah, seek her forgiveness and treat her kindly and the same ruling applies to the father.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
