The ruling on a woman visiting her neighbors without her husband's permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a caller to the program who sent two questions. The caller (S. M. A. al-Zahrani) says: "Your Eminence, what is the ruling on a man who mistreats his neighbors, speaks ill of them, and prevents his family from visiting them? And is it permissible for his wife to visit them without his knowledge?"
Answer:
It is not permissible to harm the neighbors; rather, it is obligatory to honor them and be kind to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 47a And in the other wording: Sahih Muslim 47b And so it is with every Muslim; it is not permissible to harm him. So it is obligatory for the Muslim to fear Allah regarding his neighbors, to honor them, and to be wary of harming them.
As for you, you have no right to go out except with his permission. A woman has no right to go out except with her husband's permission, except for a legitimate religious excuse.
The point is that it is obligatory to obey the husband in what is good, except if the going out is for a necessary matter, such as his neglect of her financial maintenance, or not feeding her, such that she finds nothing in the house to sustain her in terms of food and drink out of necessity, or similar necessities that befall a woman, such as fearing the collapse of the house upon her due to a defect in it, or fearing its falling, or for necessary reasons.
The point is that it is obligatory to obey the husband in what is good, and this includes not going out except with his permission. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.

Answer:
It is not permissible to harm the neighbors; rather, it is obligatory to honor them and be kind to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should treat his neighbour with kindness
من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم جارهHe who believes in Allah and the Last Day does not harm is neighbour
من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فلا يؤذي جارهAs for you, you have no right to go out except with his permission. A woman has no right to go out except with her husband's permission, except for a legitimate religious excuse.
