If a man proposes to me, I condition that I live alone so that his brothers do not see me. Now I have accepted without this condition, so how do you advise me?

Question:
After this. A message reached the program from a listener in Jordan who describes herself as a girl who wears the khimar. She says: If a man proposes to me, the first condition I will ask for is a house for myself alone, and he is not able to provide this. And Allah the Exalted says:
does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityيُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
. The reason for her condition is that he wants me to live with his family. So, for example, I agreed due to the pressures I faced. What is the ruling in this case? May Allah reward you with good. And how do you advise me? And what do you direct me to? And if he has a number of brothers, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Since the marriage has taken place and you have succeeded in the marriage, and the man is righteous in his religion, his trustworthiness, and his character, the matter of residence is easy. You can live with his family while maintaining seclusion and modesty. You can also ask for separate housing, but if that is difficult for him, you should be lenient with him until Allah the Exalted makes it easy. Yes.
