The answer

What has been mentioned about the mother and her daughters—namely, ill-treatment, incitement, lying, insults, and backbiting—is a grave mistake and impermissible. However, it is not permissible for children to sever ties with their mother or sisters, due to the great right the mother possesses and the obligation to honor her and maintain kinship ties. Children can avoid mistreatment when visiting the mother.
