Responsibility of looking after one's own children
Question
My mother asked me to send my son to live with her. He is 1.5 years old. My wife says that she can't live without him. When I told my mother that my wife will look after him, my mother said that I dont trust her... What should I?
Answer
Taking care of the children is the parents responsibility, not the grandparents responsibility.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
