Question : She must also allow him access, and she must not leave his house except with permission or with the Shaykh's permission.
Answer : But suppose the man does not fulfill her obligatory right of financial maintenance and others; is she allowed to withhold his right? It was said that she is not allowed to do so, but the correct view is that she is allowed to withhold his right. If he does not fulfill her right of financial maintenance and demands his right from her, she may refuse, because Allah says[Al-Baqarah 2:194],
