Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm 'Umar from Yemen says: My husband's father kicked me out of my husband's house because I refused to work with him on the farm, and I have a son who is still young. She says: My husband's position was that he stood with his father, did not call me, and cut off contact with me for a month. After that, he wanted me to come back, but I refused to return unless I had a lawful home. She asks: Is it permissible for me to request a divorce if my husband refuses to provide me with a home?
Answer:
If your husband has provided you with a home according to his ability, do not burden him with what he cannot afford. Rather, reside in what Allah has made easy for you and do not disobey him in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
