The ruling on a divorced woman remaining with her children in her home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question we received from one of the brothers says: A man divorced his wife, and he has children and daughters from her. This wife preferred to remain with her children in her home. Is it permissible for him to remain with her while she is with her children in the house? Knowing that he is an old man and in need of someone to attend to matters such as food and the cleanliness of his clothes.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but she must observe hijab from him; she considers him a non-mahram to her. As long as there are children in the house and there are people present, and they are not alone with her, there is nothing wrong with that. However, this is with observing hijab from him and refraining from him, because he is a non-mahram to her. Yes.
