The Ruling on a Husband Leaving His Pregnant Wife in Her Parents' Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Ahmad asks: What is the ruling on a man who leaves his wife in her parents' home for seven months while she is pregnant and does not inquire about her? Is this considered the boycotting that is prohibited?
Answer:
If he does so without a reason, it is not permissible for him to do so. He must provide her with a residence, either with him or in a home he provides for her. She has a right to housing from him, a right to financial maintenance from him, and a right to clothing from him. She has rights over him, so he must not neglect his wife and deprive her of her rights.
