What is the ruling on a father differentiating between his children in housing and depriving one of them of it, and what is the ruling on a husband proceeding with construction in his father's house despite the opposition of his wife and family, and the father demanding his son and daughter-in-law to leave the house to accommodate his other married son?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your husband's father is not obligated to agree to you living with him. It is more appropriate for your husband to secure a residence separate from his father's house to avoid disputes. A wife has the right to an independent dwelling.

It is not permissible for a father to favor one of his children with a gift unless there is a need; in such a case, it is permissible to give the needy son what fulfills his need.

If one of the sons needs a dwelling and others do not, it is not permissible for the father to transfer ownership of the dwelling to him; rather, he should allow him to reside in it while the dwelling remains in the father's name.
