Question:
Hizam from al-Ta'if, please, Hizam. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Good evening, I have a question, Honorable Shaykh. What is the ruling on separating the wife and removing her from the mother's presence in the case of problems? Is it considered a type of undutifulness to the mother?

Answer:
No, my brother, this is not undutifulness; this is fulfilling a right. The wife has the right to housing; you must provide her with suitable housing. If she does not get along with the mother in one residence, seek for her a residence that suits her, while maintaining your dutifulness to your mother, your connection to her, and your presence with her at times when she needs you. Yes, give every one who has a right their right. Give the mother her right through dutifulness and kindness, and give the wife her right through housing, financial maintenance, and clothing, which Allah has made obligatory upon you. Yes.
