The husband preventing his wife from visiting her relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Umm Muram, says that her husband, her husband, says: “O Shaykh, this husband prevents this woman from contacting her relatives. He says, ‘You have the mobile phone and you have the telephone; that is enough.’ I have not been allowed to go to my relatives for two to three months.”
Answer:
He has no right to do that. This is maintaining family ties, and it is restricting his wife and depriving her of the reward for visiting her relatives. He must allow her to do so, unless there is harm in her going to them because they have a negative influence on her; in that case, he may prevent her. But if there is no harm from them, and they are close to her home, he should not be strict with her; he should allow her to visit them. Yes.
