The answer

It is by consensus obligatory for the husband to provide housing for his wife, based on the Almighty's saying: "Lodge them where you dwell, according to your means." This is her right for her own benefit. It is not permissible for the husband to evict his wife from their dwelling as long as the marital relationship exists, nor even after divorce during the ' period, based on the Almighty's saying: "Do not expel them from their houses, nor should they themselves leave, unless they commit a flagrant indecency." Thus, the prohibition of expelling the wife from her home includes times of arguments and other situations.
