Is the wife obliged to obey her husband if he forbids her parents from visiting her in her home, just as he would forbid any other person he does not approve of entering?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A husband is not allowed to prevent his wife's parents from visiting her unless he accuses them of corrupting her. If there is no accusation of corruption, she is not obliged to obey him in preventing them, because obedience is only in what is right and lawful (Ma'ruf), as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Obedience is only in what is right and lawful."
