Does the husband's refusal to host his mother in his home constitute disobedience, especially given that his wife has health conditions preventing her from doing housework, and his mother acts without consideration for her feelings?
The husband's behavior is bad and disobedient towards his mother. It worsens when he prevents her from visiting him under the pretext of circumstances. He must fear Allah and appease his mother. What the husband has done makes the wife complicit in sin, as she is obligated to help him in his dutifulness towards his mother, especially given the mother's kindness to them and her long service to them during her pregnancy. The wife should imagine the mother's feelings when she learns about her pregnancy that was hidden from her. The mother's actions that annoy the couple can be addressed with gentleness and patience.
