Whose rights come first the husband or parents?

Question

Whose rights come first the husband or parents?

Answer

No one's rights are first. The rights of everyone have to be fulfilled. If for example, the parents have an issue with their daughter-in-law, therefore, they instruct their son not to provide maintenance or not to provide his wife with a separate apartment to live in, then in this case the man may not obey his parents. He has to refuse with utmost respect and fulfil the rights of his wife.

And, for example if the wife due to hasad or for any other reason, does not want her husband to spend on his parents or on his sisters, then it will not be lawful for him to obey his wife. He has to fulfil the rights of his parents and sisters.

Everyone's rights have to be seen to and fulfilled. No one has priority of rights.

A. The topic of the Qur'aan being created or uncreated, is extremely subtle and fraught with kufr. It is in reality a futile, destructive subject churned up by the Mu'tazillis who subscribed to some views of kufr of the philosophers. They claimed that the Qur'aan was the created word of Allah Ta'ala. The belief of the Ahlus Sunnah is that the Qur'aan, not the tangible book, is the Uncreated Word/ Speech of Allah Ta'ala. It is of His Attributes. Shaitaan will entangle you in a web of kufr with this subject. Steer clear of it.
