Does a woman have the right to demand a separate residence?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received this message from the sister Umm Ram, who says: Shaykh, a married woman lives with her husband's family, and when she goes down to them, she is subjected to harassment, which causes her problems. She has memorized the Book of Allah and does not want to sever family ties. What does the Shaykh advise her?
Answer:
I advise her either to be patient and remain in the house of her husband and his family, or, if this is a hardship for her, she may request that a separate residence be allocated for her where she can be at ease. This is her right to demand. Yes.
