Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If the divorced woman refuses to stay in the house during the waiting period, does the husband have the right to force her to remain in the house, or is the sin upon her and nothing is required of the husband?
Answer:
As you know, her remaining in the house is a right for her and a right for the husband as well. So if she waives her right, the husband’s right is not waived; he may force her to remain in the house.
