Is taking the children to Saudi Arabia considered disobedience to parents, knowing the grandparents' strong attachment to their grandchildren and the possibility of the mother suffering psychologically, along with the children's need for their father and his inability to leave his job in Saudi Arabia?

However, one should deal with the mother with gentleness and wisdom when taking the children from her.
