Is it permissible, in Islamic law, for a wife to refuse to receive her husband's children in her home, fearing that their mother might incite them to create problems for her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A wife does not have the right to prevent her husband from hosting his children in his home. However, the husband must prevent his children and their mother from damaging his wife's furniture or clothes. If the husband cannot prevent them, he must host them elsewhere.
