Does the wife have the right to ask for a rented apartment during her husband's vacation in his country, given that she refuses to stay with his mother because the latter insulted her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is the wife's right to reside in an independent dwelling, and she is not obligated to accept living with her husband's mother or anyone else in a shared residence. However, if the dwelling within the mother's house is independent with its own facilities, then the wife does not have the right to demand another dwelling.
