Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife has a right to an independent dwelling with its utilities, where she feels safe concerning herself and her property. She has the right to refuse anyone from her husband's family from living with her. Her husband has the right to host his family and guests in it, and the wife does not have the right to prevent him. If the house is owned by the husband, the wife has no share in it.
