Question

Hello, a person arrived at his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house in the afternoon to pick up an item with his daughter and meets his mother-in-law, who informs him that his father-in-law is sleeping. The person wants to leave, but his mother-in-law asks him to wake his father-in-law so he can greet and see his granddaughter, saying he will be upset if he knows his granddaughter was there and he didn't meet her. Should the person listen to his mother-in-law and wake his father-in-law in such a case?

Answer

Hello

If indeed the father-in-law would be happy to be woken up to see his granddaughter, it is a mitzvah to wake him up.
