Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A woman asks, which right is greater, the husband's or the parents'? If my husband prevents me from going to my mother, despite my long absence from her, is it obligatory for me to obey him, or do I go to her?
Answer:
Yes, you go to her, because the mother's right takes precedence over the husband's right. The husband has no right to prevent what is obligatory; he does not prevent his wife from what is obligatory upon her. Being dutiful to the mother is obligatory upon her. He also does not prevent her from Hajj, the obligatory Hajj, if a mahram is available for her; it is not permissible for him to prevent her from Hajj. Yes.
