What is the ruling on a wife being insolent and raising her voice at her husband during an argument, and is she entitled to stay overnight at her parents' home despite her weekly visits to them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A wife must obey her husband in what is right and lawful. It is his right that she does not leave his house except with his permission, nor spend the night outside it except with his permission. The preponderant view is that a husband does not have the right to prevent his wife from visiting her family, and the duration of the visit is determined by custom. The spouses should understand each other and consider each other's circumstances in this matter.
