Question

My mother is 60+ and everyday she sits on her laptop and phone chatting to various men/boys (some of them old enough to be her sons) although this does not interfere with her namaaz I still believe this is wrong! When I confront her about it, she get so upset and throws my mistakes in my face. She is on all the dating sites and chats to various men from around the globe! Please help! How can I make her undrstand that what she is doing is a sin as she doesn't see it that way?

Answer

Start off ta`leem of Fazaa’il-e-A`maal and speak about death, qabar etc. in her presence.

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