Is it permissible for a person to disregard his mother’s command to help her with household chores, focusing instead on his studies, given that she exerts herself greatly in serving nine individuals and does not receive sufficient help?

It is not permissible to disobey the mother in what she commands regarding focusing on studies. It is advised to combine diligence in studying with helping the mother in a way that does not affect studies, while convincing the mother that the help does not affect studies but rather increases the desire for them. It is also urged to advise other family members to help the mother in her work and service.
