Is it permissible for a son to fulfill his mother's request to leave the house, especially since she instigates problems and asks him to do so in order for her to live her life, while maintaining kinship ties?

If the mother orders her son to leave the house, and he is able to reside elsewhere, he must obey her. It is permissible for her to live alone in the dwelling if the place is safe and she is of good conduct. However, if the place is unsafe, or there is suspicion, or a bad situation, or a possibility of strangers entering upon her; then her guardian or her mahrams, such as her son, may prevent her from living alone. In such a case, he should live with her or near her to look after her.

Ibn al-Humam mentioned that the father and brother should keep the virgin girl close to them, and also the non-virgin woman if she is not safe. Al-Nawawi stated that a non-virgin woman is not compelled to live with her parents unless there is an accusation or suspicion. In such a case, the father, grandfather, and whoever is responsible for her marriage may prevent her from living alone. The mahram should keep her close to him, while a non-mahram should house her in a suitable place and watch over her.

Al-Buhuti, in "Al-Rawd al-Murabba'", indicated that the father and her other 'asabah (agnates) may prevent her from living alone out of fear of corruption. If she does not desist except by imprisonment or restraint, then they are permitted to do so.

If the mother wishes to marry, that is her right, and she cannot be prevented from it as long as she will marry a suitable man. Rather, it is an act of filial piety to assist her in marriage and to search for a husband for her who will keep her chaste and protect her, for that is better for her and for the children. In such a case, there is no blame upon the children for leaving the house.
