But subhanaw taala made procreation, right? To use that
term, father and mother and then children. And when you have that
structure, it's good. That's why when you have an absent father or
an absent mother, a single parent family, for example, they are.
There's an imbalance. And there's turbulence in that. But recently,
there was an interview that I watched with a woman who was
brought up by two mothers.
Right, which obviously is not the Islamic way of doing it at all.
She's saying that she's saying this from experience, right? She's
saying this from experience from homophobia, as they say, this,
she's saying this from experience that it was not the ideal
unhealthy situation, because humans need a father and a mother.
So yes, to mothers, as good as they may be, as individuals or
care or compassion or whatever. You can't replace a father. And
likewise, if you have just the father in the house, you don't
have a mother. You just can't replace that.
