Is it permissible for a husband to move to live in a separate house from his parents’ house despite his father’s refusal and his fear of his father’s anger, while he and his wife are keen to honor his father?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for the husband to move out of the shared dwelling into an independent dwelling, and he is not obligated to obey his father in remaining in his dwelling. For it is the wife's right upon her husband that he houses her in an independent dwelling, and he must strive to appease his father and show him dutifulness.
