The answer

Do not obey your mother in her request for divorce without a valid reason, because it is an act of disobedience (to Allah). There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. This request from your mother is an unlawful instigation (takhbib). Accompany your mother with kindness and try to please her in ways that do not contradict Islamic law. However, the right of your husband and obedience to him take precedence over her right and obedience to her. Rely on Allah and trust in Him.
