Is a man permitted to prevent his wife from going to her family after he sent her to them and they refused to return her to him, knowing that she leaves her family's house without his permission and without proper Islamic head covering?
If the wife's family corrupts her against her husband, he has the right to prevent her from visiting them and to prevent them from visiting her. The wife must obey her husband in what is good and permissible, and she is not allowed to leave the house without his permission or without hijab. If her family prevents her from returning to her home or orders her to leave it, she is not allowed to obey them, because obedience to the husband is more rightful.
