Question:
If there are people in the house from whom the wife suffers harm, is it permissible for the husband to relocate them to another residence if she requests it, or should she be patient with their harm? And does the woman have the right to prevent anyone she dislikes from entering her home, just as the man does? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no doubt that a woman has the right to suitable housing from her husband. Allah the Exalted said:[At-Talaq 65:6] So the woman is entitled to housing that is suitable and appropriate for her, and he must protect her from harm. If she is being harmed by something in her home or residence, it is obligatory for the husband to remove it, and she should be in a comfortable dwelling. This is part of her right to demand. If she is patient, if she is patient with something that is not forbidden, that is good, for patience is good because it encourages the continuation of the marriage, and tolerance is recommended except in what Allah has forbidden. If the thing that is harming her is something Allah has forbidden—such as if he is harming her with bad speech, cursing, and insults, or if they are trying to look at some of her adornment or something Allah has forbidden—then it is not permissible to be patient with that. This is an evil, so she must refrain from it and work to remove it. Yes.

Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means
أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجْدِكُمْ
