Abstract

In order to establish peace and stability in the society, Allah Ta'ala has set a 
limit of relations between them, be it kinship or marital relations. In order to 
maintain more beauty in the family system, the prohibition and respect of 
relationships has been established. Rules and regulations have been set to avoid 
hatred and cruelty in the same family. As if a person marries a woman, then the 
woman's mother i.e., mother-in-law becomes haram for that person forever in 
this article, the sanctity of mother-in-law has been researched because one of 
the causes and motives of family instability in the society includes issues of 
disrespect and disrespect between mother-in-law and son-in-law. In this article, 
an attempt has been made to explain the orders related to the sanctity of the 
mother-in-law from the previous Sharia and tried to find the Islamic teachings 
related to the sanctity of the mother-in-law. There are clear orders regarding the 
sanctity of mother-in-law in Shari'ah and Islamic teachings. The disrespect and 
disrespect of the mother-in-law gives birth to unkindness and diseases like 
hatred and enmity are born in the family system. In the previous Shari'ah, it has 
been ordered to kill the person who unveil his mother-in-law. Islamic law,s also 
strictly condemn the unveiling of mother-in-law.
