A wife’s obedience to her husband in his preventing her from maintaining ties with her parents

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a husband prevents his wife from visiting her father or her mother, if a husband prevents his wife from visiting her father or her mother, is it obligatory for her to obey him in that?

The Shaykh:
No,
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
, yes.

The questioner:
What did you say?

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
