Is a man sinful if he registers his house in his mother's name to please her, especially if he has a wife and daughters, and fears her anger if he refuses?

You are not required to register your house in your mother's name. It is sufficient that you allow her to reside in it if she is in need. There is no harm in transferring ownership of the dwelling to her to satisfy her. A wife has the right to an independent dwelling, and she cannot be forced to live with any of your family members except with her consent. You must strive to please your mother and exert effort in honoring her and showing kindness to her.
