Looking after one's widowed mother
Question
My step sister and brother want to sell our family house and want their share? They have already forced my mum into selling the shops and got
40% of the share! Now where is my widowed mother supposed to live? If the house is sold? Is it Islamic?
Answer
It is the responsibility of you and your siblings to take good care of your mother, otherwise all of you will be greatly sinful.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
