Taking care of one's mother in law

Q: If the husband is not in favour of keeping his mother in law for an extended time, should a wife convince him or leave it?

A: It is a joint responsibility of the close family to take care of the mother in law. Hence, everybody should assist in keeping her comfortable and taking care of her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
