Who is more entitled to care for a mother whose sons and daughters are married, knowing that she currently lives with one of them, while the married sisters are demanding to host her, but their husbands refuse?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Caring for a needy mother is equally obligatory upon all children. A husband has the right to refuse his wife's mother living with them, especially if she has other children who can care for her. Nevertheless, a husband's assistance to his wife in showing kindness to her mother is a good deed and strengthens affection between them.
