Is it permissible for a widow, who owns a house and whose daughters own a house, to live with her daughters in a rented house to avoid the guardianship of her father and her husband's father, knowing that she secretly studies Sharia and believes that they are not legally or religiously responsible for her, and what is the role of her husband's father if she lives in his house?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to a widowed woman residing in a rented house with her daughters, as long as there is no suspicion regarding her independent living arrangement. If suspicion does arise, then her guardian may have her live with him, or he may allocate a suitable place for her to reside in and supervise her.
