The answer

Problems between a wife and her husband's mother are common, and the husband must exercise wisdom and patience. He must strive to reconcile them, as this is one of the greatest acts of devotion, and lying is permissible for its sake. If it is highly probable that the husband living in a separate residence will solve the problem, then there is no blame on him, and his mother has no right to prevent him except for a legitimate religious reason. Living in a separate residence is a right of the wife and must be fulfilled for her, even if the mother is displeased. It is not permissible to please the mother by wronging the wife.
