Is the jealousy of a husband who prevents his wife from visiting her family and does not allow her to take off her abaya, claiming the presence of her sister's husband in the same house, religiously justifiable? And is this considered an obsessive whisper (waswasa)? Is there a maximum religious limit for a husband to prevent his wife from visiting her family? And is it permissible for the wife to ask her husband to visit her family at most once or twice a week?
1. It is possible for the visit to take place during the husband's absence to avoid problems.
2. The wife's family can visit her instead of her visiting them.
3. The husband's suspicion may stem from misgivings or something that has actually occurred.
4. The duration of the visit is subject to custom and mutual understanding between the spouses, and the wife must fear Allah, obey her husband, and preserve the stability of the family.
