Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of her paragraphs, she asks: Is my private house my right? And is it permissible for my mother to deprive me of it? Save us, may Allah save you, and benefit you.
Answer:
The wife has the right to housing from her husband, and this is part of the obligatory maintenance. Maintenance includes food, drink, and whatever she needs for sustenance; it includes appropriate clothing; and it includes appropriate housing. It is the wife's right over her husband that he provide her with comfortable housing. Her mother has no right to interfere by preventing her from any of these rights. If she does so, she is committing a sin, a transgression, and injustice. The mother, yes.
