Is it permissible for a man to prefer his wife over his mother in expenditure and clothing, and would he be sinful for doing so?
He does not sin if he provides for his mother, if she is someone he is obligated to provide for. It is better to appease his mother and prioritize her. If he must prioritize his wife, then he should conceal it from his mother.
