Is it permissible or reprehensible for the wife's mother to be present in the marital bedroom to check on their child's condition?

Seeking permission is a great Islamic ethic legislated by Allah to preserve people's privacy and sanctity. Every individual has the right to feel secure in their home and to be concealed from the eyes of onlookers. Allah Almighty has forbidden entering homes without permission.

The etiquette of seeking permission is not limited to strangers; it includes relatives, even children once they reach puberty. There are specific times when seeking permission is particularly emphasized: before the Fajr prayer, at noon, and after the 'Isha prayer.

Therefore, the husband's mother should not enter the spouses' bedroom without permission, even if it is to check on the child, unless they grant her permission and the sitting is normal, while observing the concealment of private parts.
