What is the ruling on a wife refusing to stay with her husband's family during Ramadan, alone with them and without her husband, given her husband's prior knowledge of her refusal to be away from him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no blame upon the husband for traveling or being absent from his wife for a [valid] interest, as long as his absence does not exceed six months. If his absence exceeds six months due to an excuse, such as earning a living, then there is no blame upon him. He must provide an independent dwelling for his wife, and he is not allowed to compel her to live with his family.
