My mother has relationships outside of her marriage while my father is alive. We are ashamed of her deeds. We gave her many chances but she hasn’t changed. She promised to change but didn’t. She even commits zinah. We face many obstacles because of her and our life has become stressful. Can I disown her?

I don’t think you should disown her. Yes, her actions are faulty, but in the end, she is your mother. Let Allah (swt) deal with her sins, but you should still do your part as a child.

Abu Huraira reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “Who is most deserving of my good company?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked, “Then who?” The Prophet said “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your father.”
