Summary
Caring for the welfare of the mother is an obligation upon her children. Disobeying her is forbidden, and children must be patient with her demands, especially as she grows older. The answer cites verse 68 of Surah Yasin on how those given long life return to weakness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wajib hukumnya anak-anak menjaga kebajikan ibunya. Haram menderhaka padanya dan wajib bersabar di atas segala kerenahnya khusus apabila umurnya semakin lanjut.
