"Filial piety is a great virtue, and the mother is given precedence over the father in this regard. You must please your mother without neglecting your wife's rights. The wife has the right to good companionship and to a private dwelling. To alleviate the wife's feeling of injustice, she should know that her illness is a divine decree from Allah. She should be patient and seek reward from Allah, and forgive those who wronged her to attain a great reward. The wife does not have the right to prevent the mother from seeing her grandchild. She must forgive, overlook, and obey her husband in this matter."
