ANSWER:

This is backbiting, one of the major sins in Islam and he is sinful for this. He needs to stop being a mommy’s boy.

QUESTION: Do I have to visit my husband’s non-Muslim family when they invite us (including uncles, cousins, etc.)? I don’t feel comfortable there, especially when it’s so crowded. But I wonder if I should go for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and for my child, or if Allah would be displeased if I don’t go, since it’s my husbands family. What is your advice?

QUESTION: Can a husband refuse to provide his wife with a separate kitchen, room, and washroom for privacy on the basis that her family knew at marriage that he was living with his mother, even though he lives in a double-storey one-kanal house (owned by his mother)? He argues that privacy is met with only a separate room and washroom, without a separate kitchen. Is this justified in Islam?
