The answer

Moderation is required in all things, and extremism is blameworthy. Allah the Almighty said: "And eat and drink, but be not excessive." And He said: "And those who, when they spend, do not spend extravagantly nor do they become niggardly, but full moderation is maintained between these (extremes)." A husband should organize his time between visiting his parents and siblings and his wife, "full moderation is maintained between these (extremes)." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, affirmed Salman's statement to Abu ad-Darda: "Indeed, your Lord has a right over you, and your soul has a right over you, and your family has a right over you; so give every possessor of a right his right." And the wife must observe in front of the husband's brothers.
