A Mother’s Huge Right to Good Treatment

Shaikh Ibn Bāz, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

…Mothers have a huge right, and doing good to them [and obeying them] is an [Islāmic] obligation; doing good to them is [a] greater [act] than doing good to fathers.

The Prophet ﷺ, when he was asked [by someone], “…O Messenger of Allāh, whom should I do good to?” said, “Your mother.” [The person] said, “Then whom?” He said, “Your mother.” [The person] said, “Then whom?” He said, “Your mother.” [The person] said, “Then whom?” He said, “Your father.”

So she gets three-fourths [of good treatment], and he gets a fourth.
