1. What is the ruling on a mother who creates discord among her children to gain their sympathy? 2. Is it permissible or forbidden to not take a sick child to the doctor out of obedience to his grandmother? 3. What is the ruling on boycotting the husband's mother after a long period of abuse?

It is not permissible for a mother to sow discord among her children, and she must not be obeyed in such matters, but her rights do not diminish. As for a father addressing his son's issues, that is an obligation upon him, and no one should be obeyed in disobedience to the Creator. Boycotting the husband's mother due to fear of harm and bad manners is not sinful, but showing kindness to her and enduring her harm is better.
