Is a mother considered sinful for being unable to stay with her sick mother in the hospital, due to her care for her infant, who is very attached to her, and there being no one to care for the child in her absence, coupled with the presence of other siblings, each with their own circumstances, and the father accompanying her and suffering from fatigue, and her necessity to translate for her parents in a foreign country, and the hospital only allowing one companion?

Each of your child, your parents, and your husband has a right over you. If the hospital is taking care of your mother, and there is no one to care for your child at home, and your husband prevents you from staying at the hospital with your mother, then we hope there is no sin upon you for not staying with her.

Firstly: Because leaving a child without care harms him, whereas leaving the mother in the hospital in this situation does not harm her.

Secondly: Because a woman should not go out without her husband's permission to visit her parents or nurse them, especially if he has forbidden her.

We advise your husband to help you in honoring your mother and accompanying her as much as possible, for it is desirable for a husband to permit his wife to visit her parents and nurse their sick.
