Responsibility of a girl towards her mother in-law

· 18 Safar 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Help me understand the role & responsibility for a girl towards her mother in-law. Is there any Hadith for the same? Many people nowadays challenge that there is not a single responsibility prescribed for a girl towards her mother in-law.

Answer

She should treat her with respect and honour and be of service to her as she would expect and wish her brother's wife to do for her mother.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
