Is it allowed to adress father-in-law or mother-in-law as father or mother?

Question

Is it allowed to adress father-in-law or mother-in-law as father or mother? If not, then how should it be according to Shari'ah?   

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Shariah advises us to be kind and considerate to our in-laws.

One may refer and call his father-in-law and mother-in-law, father and mother out of respect and kindness.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai.

فتوی: 906/ ج= 906/ ج 

ساس اور سسر ماں، باپ کے درجے میں ہوتے ہیں، ان کے حقوق وہی ہیں جو ماں باپ کے ہیں اس لیے ان کے ادب و احترام میں انھیں ساس اور سسر کے بجائے امی اور ابو وغیرہ کہہ سکتے ہیں، جائز ہے۔
