Is it permissible for a girl to move from her father's home to her grandfather's home due to harassment from her stepmother?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the girl is an adult and mature, and her stay in her grandfather's house is secure, then it is permissible for her to move there. An adult and mature person has the choice to reside with whomever they wish. However, if she is a female, she cannot live alone, and her father has the right to prevent her from doing so for fear of corruption. If she has no father, then her guardian has the right to prevent her. Whatever the case, the daughter must honor her father and not sever ties with him.
