The answer

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.
