The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is there a word, may Allah preserve you, regarding the wives of sons toward their husbands' mothers?
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that the wives of sons have an obligatory right for their husbands' mothers, for the sake of the success of the relationship
The presenter:
We seek help from Allah.
The Shaykh:
between her and her husband, and to help her husband be dutiful to his mother; for a bad wife may be the cause of her husband’s undutifulness to his mother, whereas she may be a help to him in being dutiful to his mother if she is good and improves her conduct. It is obligatory for the wife to fear Allah in the rights of her husband’s mother, and to be a help to her husband in being dutiful to his mother, so that she may thereby receive reward. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] Yes.

And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
