Does the widow remain in her husband's family home where she received the news of his death, despite the fact that her husband's brothers live there?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : One house?
The questioner : No, my Shaykh, his house is separate.
The Shaykh: A house.
The questioner : Instead, meaning instead of having his own separate house, he rejected the idea of... his family's house is spacious, yet he did not like his wife to stay in his family's house because of his brothers, so that there would not be a kind of free mixing of men and women. Now, after his death, the news of the death came to Mustafa's family home. We said that the daughter should stay in Mustafa's family home where she received the news of the death.
The Shaykh : Okay. According to the original ruling, meaning?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Her father refused this, saying: His brothers are present, so my daughter will not be comfortable. Also, Mustafa did not accept in his lifetime that the daughter would stay in his family's home. Is it permissible for us to deviate from the original ruling, my Shaykh, for the reasons I mentioned to you?
The Shaykh : By Allah, this varies from one house to another. Do these six brothers all live in one house?
The questioner : They are in an external part of the house, but it is divided, my Shaykh. Three of them are in the same house, three in the same house.
The Shaykh : Three of them are in the same house.
The questioner : The big house is the father's big house.
The Shaykh : Okay. How many rooms does it have?
The questioner : It has four rooms, two living rooms approximately, and utility areas.
The Shaykh : And are they married?
The questioner : One of them is married.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The rest are young men, meaning one is twenty-one, twenty-two, and the second is thirty and has not married yet.
The Shaykh : Now, if we set aside the father of the daughter or the wife, what is the wife's opinion on the matter?
The questioner : The wife wants to stay with her mother-in-law.
The Shaykh : Then she stays there.
The questioner : But the father is trying to force her now.
The Shaykh : No, he has no right.
The questioner : He cited a hadith against us. The man is committed. He cited a hadith and said:, saying: I cannot let my daughter live alone in the house while there are young men.
The Shaykh : How is she alone, my brother?!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : "Alone" is said when there is seclusion. If there is no seclusion, it is not said to be alone.
The questioner : Yes, there is no seclusion, because the mother is present now.
The Shaykh : So then?
The questioner : But that is his situation. Now I want to convey his words, because he told me to callThe Shaykh : Nasser, so I want to convey the fatwa to the man now. Is it not permissible, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes. After I understood the matter in detail from you, but I will summarize. As you know, the original ruling is that she remains in the house where she received the news of her husband's death. This is first. Second: If the wife is comfortable financially and psychologically in her in-laws' house, then there is no longer an excuse for her father to remove her from the house, because this is contrary to the original ruling. Rather, he should only proceed to remove her after her waiting period ends.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is the summary of the answer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : ... Our brother, truly, he pained us greatly...
The Shaykh : We ask Allah for mercy for him.
The questioner : O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh : But stealing a car is a very strange matter.
The questioner : By Allah, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Is there no one following up on the matter?
The questioner : No, my Shaykh, it is with them.
The Shaykh : Is the chaos still rampant?
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : A few days ago, they took a dozen or so of our brothers there, and they were saved from death by a miracle.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Yes, by a miracle, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) saved them from death.
The Shaykh : The intended death?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : The intended death? From the enemies, or meaning divine decree and destiny?
The questioner : No, from them, from the government, meaning.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Meaning they sentenced them, except that a brother of one of them intervened, who has connections at a high level.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But the group from whom one was saved, he did not recognize faces from the beating.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Meaning very strange things are happening now, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And there is nothing there that can be considered an excuse for those oppressors.
The questioner : My Shaykh, they do not move except at the level of a Friday sermon, but the ideology they carry is hostile.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : ... They do not want anything now except hand drums and whirling.
The Shaykh : Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
The questioner : Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah for mercy and forgiveness for the deceased.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, and welcome.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
