Question: As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi our virtuous Shaykh and father. May Allaah bless you. A person has a question: What can a son** tell his Muslim mother, who says that he must cook on the day of the non Muslim Holidays(due to mother celebrating it). She does not listen to him, when he says that it is not permissible?
Response: Don't take her (order) into consideration.

**I mistakenly mentioned son, instead of daughter. Nevertheless, what is haram for one is for the other.
