The married man living with his parents

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Which is better, Honorable Shaykh, for a young married man: to live with his parents in the house, or to move out to an apartment to avoid the conflict between the mother and the wife?

Answer:
If the parents, or one of them, need him to live with them, he stays with them. He orders his wife to honor the parents, or whichever of them is present, and to help him be dutiful to his parents. If no agreement is reached, there is nothing wrong with him providing his wife with a separate residence. However, he comes to his parents, is present with his parents, and serves his parents. He provides his wife with a separate residence in order to avoid discord and what arises from that between the parents and the wife. Yes.
