The answer

This endeavor is good and provides assistance to people. Allah helps a servant as long as the servant helps his brother. However, if your husband prevents you from continuing this work, you are obliged to obey him, because obeying him in such a matter is considered obedience in what is good, and obedience to the husband takes precedence over obedience to parents, as long as he does not command disobedience.
