Family dispute

A member of the Saudi Human Rights Association and Vice Dean of the College of Sharia at Umm Al Qura University, Dr. Mohammad Al Sahli, said family disputes occur, but here comes the voice of wisdom and the role of the head of the family, to contain such disputes and limit their consequences.

“In the event the family head is unable to solve a dispute, the matter should be referred to judicial and legal bodies that can intervene and give everyone his right without entering into such deadly fights, since the state of anger was overwhelming, and one of them may have psychological or health conditions,” Dr. Al Sahli advised.

He confirmed such situation must be dealt with all reason and wisdom, to avoid conflicts, after which everyone will regret as they calm down and return to the path of righteousness.
