Father ill-treating mother
Question
I'm female and married. Right now I'm passing through difficult times and this is between my parents. My father is not speaking to my mother and this happens every six months on such small things. I have 2 younger sisters. We never interrupted between them fearing that they might get separated. He is not staying with them and threatening my mother that he can marry any women if he can.
Answer
Fulfil the rights of your both parents and make duaa for them. Do not let their internal disputes cause you to disrespect them and not show kindness towards them. Commence taleem of fazaail aamaal and fazaail sadaqaat at home with your family, and at the end engage in collective duaa for your family and the entire ummah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
