How should the daughter-in-law treat her husband's parents who live with her in the same house, especially if the father is strict?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Parents hold a great status and deserve kindness, gentleness, and humility. A Muslim is rewarded for good character and humility towards believers.

This treatment is not obligatory, but the reward increases if it is done with the intention of pleasing the husband and maintaining a good marital relationship.
