Does disobedience befall the wife and two sisters if they reconcile despite the mother's refusal, and should she fear the mother's supplication against them in anger until the Day of Resurrection and Allah's wrath when circumambulating the Kaaba?
Allah has made obedience to parents obligatory and considered their disobedience a major sin. However, there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. So, if parents command a sin, the child is not obligated to obey them. Estrangement, mutual hatred, and abandonment among Muslims are forbidden by Islamic law. Therefore, there is no obedience to the mother in preventing and rejecting reconciliation between the wife and the sisters. If the sisters reconcile with the wife, this is not considered disobedience to the mother, and her supplication against them will not be answered because it is an act of injustice and sin. It is appropriate to be gentle with the mother, admonish her, and remind her of the impermissibility of estrangement among Muslims.
