Is it permissible to provide maintenance for a pregnant wife residing in her family's home without her husband's consent?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman who refuses to reside in her husband's home is considered disobedient (nashiz), and she is not entitled to maintenance except if she is pregnant. In that case, the maintenance is for the fetus, who is his child, and it is not forfeited by the mother's disobedience.
