Does the wife's right to overnight stay (mabit) and equitable division (qismah) lapse if she leaves her home with her husband's consent and stays with her family due to her inability to remain alone?
If the wife leaves for her family's home with her husband's permission, her right to a night's stay is not forfeited. If the husband travels alone and then returns, he resumes the division of nights based on what was previously established before his travel, starting with the wife whose turn it was that night. It is advisable to discuss this matter with the husband to avoid discord.
