Is a husband considered oppressive for preventing his wife from visiting relatives, maintaining kinship ties, and visiting the sick due to his jealousy? Is the wife rewarded for obeying him? Is she sinful for not accepting invitations and cutting off kinship ties?

A husband's jealousy over his wife is praiseworthy if it is moderate. If there is no suspicion, the husband should not prevent his wife from visiting her relatives, maintaining ties of kinship, or visiting the sick. This is because prevention without a clear reason shakes the trust between the spouses. Obedience to the husband is obligatory if he insists on refusal, and the wife will be rewarded for her obedience. She does not sin by refraining from visiting at that time. Maintaining ties of kinship has many avenues other than visiting, such as calling and inquiring about their well-being.
