Adakah isteri wajib melayan dan menjaga ibu bapa mertua?

Dari segi hukum fiqh, menjaga mertua bukan kewajipan isteri, tetapi berbuat baik kepada mereka adalah akhlak mulia yang sangat dituntut. Kewajipan berbakti dan menanggung ibu bapa yang memerlukan terletak pada anak mereka, iaitu suami. Namun mertua ialah mahram dan sebahagian keluarga isteri; melayan mereka dengan baik menggembirakan suami dan mengeratkan silaturahim. Suami tidak sepatutnya membebankan isteri dengan penjagaan sepenuh masa tanpa persetujuan atau bantuan. Penjagaan warga emas elok dikongsi bersama adik-beradik suami. Lihat Hak suami & isteri .

Is a wife obliged to serve and care for her parents-in-law?

In terms of fiqh, caring for parents-in-law is not the wife's obligation, but being good to them is a noble trait that is strongly encouraged.
The duty of devotion to and support of parents in need lies on their child, that is, the husband. But parents-in-law are mahram and part of the wife's family; treating them well pleases the husband and strengthens family ties. The husband should not burden his wife with full-time care without her agreement or help. Care for the elderly is best shared with the husband's siblings. See Rights of husband & wife.
