You are not obligated to go to your parents; rather, it is sufficient to visit them on occasions and maintain communication. It is not permissible to obey them in disobedience to Allah or disobedience to your husband. However, try to maintain affection with your brothers and sisters. Obey your mother only in righteousness and good deeds, and warn them against spoiling your relationship with your husband.
