The question

Is it an act of filial piety for a son to stay with his mother after an operation instead of returning to his own home, knowing that his mother does not object to his staying in her house, and does the wife have the right to prefer that he leaves the hospital and goes to his own home?

The answer

The mother has the right to dutifulness, and the wife has the right to kind companionship. The husband must give everyone their due right. These two rights should be reconciled whenever possible. Dutifulness to the mother includes every good deed, as long as it does not lead to the loss of others' rights. Staying at the wife's home is not obligatory for the husband unless it leads to her abandonment or harm. The wife should accept the husband's dutifulness to his mother due to its positive impact on everyone in this world and the hereafter.
