I say, and with Allah's success: Celebrating Mother's Day is permissible as long as it does not lead to neglecting her on other days, and that she has no right over us except on this day. If it serves as a reminder of the rights of the mother over us, increases care for her more and more, and becomes a reason for honoring her and fulfilling her duties, then it is good. It was narrated by Anas that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Paradise lies under the feet of mothers": in Musnad al-Shihab 1: 102, and in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir 2: 289, and in Sunan al-Kubra by al-Nasa'i 4: 272 with the wording: "So hold on to her, for Paradise is at her feet," and in Musnad Ahmad 24: 299, and in Kashf al-Khafa 1: 387: al-Hakim said: The chain is authentic, though it was criticized for its inconsistency. This is a metaphor for the utmost submission and the end of humility towards the mother, as in His saying: {And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy} [Al-Isra: 24]. And Ibn 'Amr said: "A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) seeking permission to fight in jihad, and he said: Do you have parents? He said: Yes. He said: Then strive in their service" in Sunan al-Tirmidhi 4: 191, and he said: It is good and authentic. And Allah knows best.
