Should the husband be informed about the death of the paternal uncle, or should that be left unmentioned, knowing that he might have seen the condolence image on WhatsApp and that today is the last day of mourning?

We advise informing the husband of the uncle's death so he can offer condolences to the family. It is incumbent to strive to end the dispute and return to him through a good marital relationship. If they are unable to do so, then a mediator from his family and a mediator from her family should intervene to reconcile them, as Almighty Allah says: "And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause success between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things]."
