Q: I'd like to know can a husband invite his parents home without discussing with his wife if she is willing to host them?
A: Islam commands one to honour his parents, serve them and fulfill their rights to the best of his ability. Serving one's parents and honouring them is a means of one acquiring immense barakah and blessings from the side of Allah Ta'ala in one's life and in one's home.
Hence, if the husband wishes to invite his parents to his home, then he has all the right to do so and he does not require permission from his wife to do so. He may inform her so that she can also prepare accordingly to receive them with honour and respect.
The wife should understand that through her husband honouring his parents and inviting them to his home, for upholding this great injunction of deen, Allah Ta'ala will bless her, her husband and family with immense barakah and bring abundant goodness in their home. The wife should also understand that if she respects her husband's parents, then this will cause her husband to also respect her parents and honour them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
