Is it obligatory for the wife to ask her husband for permission daily to go to her family's house to stay overnight or for lunch, knowing his anger when she does not ask for permission and the difficulty of communicating with him, especially since she is a doctor and works at a center owned by her husband, and her family's house is close to work, and she cannot go to her husband's family's house due to exhaustion, and the income of the center is a source of livelihood for her, her children, and her husband?
If the husband gets angry when his wife goes to her family's house without his permission, then she must seek his permission. It is not permissible for her to work to provide for herself and her children, as their maintenance is obligatory upon the husband. Since she works to assist her husband, he should permit her to go to her family's house unless he fears harm. There should be mutual understanding between them regarding these matters. It is the wife's right to have an independent dwelling, and she is not obliged to live with her husband's family if an independent dwelling is not provided.
