Is it permissible for a man to slaughter his sacrificial animal (udhiyah) in his home with his wife and children, and then for them to go for lunch at his parents' house after finishing with the udhiyah, especially if his parents have other children who serve them during Eid? And does the wife have the right to perform Eid activities in her home without restrictions, based on the hadith "The best of you are those best to their families"?

It is permissible for a man to slaughter his sacrificial animal at his home with his family, and then for them to go to his father's house for lunch. The wife is not obligated to endure difficulties to have lunch with them; a woman is not required to obey her husband in everything he commands, except in matters related to marriage and its extensions, especially if his command causes her harm. The best approach is mutual understanding and good relations between the wife and her husband's family.
