Am I entitled to request housing in the city to facilitate the care and education of my daughter with autism, knowing that my husband is able to do so but fears disobeying his parents?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is the wife's right to have an independent and suitable dwelling. The husband is not obliged to provide this dwelling in the city, but there is no harm in discussing it with him and trying to convince him of the importance of moving there. If he is convinced and wishes to move, there is no sin upon him, and this is not considered disobedience to his parents if he leaves them in a state where he is confident they will not suffer neglect, and he must strive to be dutiful to them. The husband must provide medical care and attention for his daughter according to his ability.
