Is a son's refusal to clear the table when asked by his mother considered an act of disobedience (ʿuqūq), if his refusal to obey would lead to negative consequences, such as accustoming his younger brother to not clearing it, or to animosity and quarreling with his brother?

Obeying one's mother is obligatory in clearing the dining cloth (sufra) if she commands it, even if it entails hardship that is not harmful due to the actions of siblings. It is appropriate to placate the mother and gently discuss with her how to organize matters in a way that includes everyone, while reminding her of the negative consequences that may result from her actions. It is also advised to counsel the siblings kindly and remind them of the importance of cooperation, and to make abundant supplications.
