Is the wife entitled to prevent her husband from repeatedly performing Umrah with his mother, and what advice is directed to the wife in this situation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Filial piety is one of the greatest acts of drawing closer to Allah. Allah Almighty has linked it to His worship, saying: "And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And to parents, do good." And what the son does by performing an annual 'Umrah with his mother is a great deed, and it is a cause for goodness and abundant provision. The wife should rejoice in this righteous act and assist her husband in it, and be certain that this expenditure is not lost with Allah; rather, it increases wealth and blesses it. She should praise Allah for providing her with wealth to use in obedience, for the Prophet said: "How excellent is righteous wealth for a righteous person." And if the wife feels jealousy, she should put herself in her mother-in-law's place to realize the value of this action.
