Are there any Quranic verses or hadiths that state a husband should not disclose his destination and companions to his wife?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no Sharia evidence that obligates a husband to inform his wife of his whereabouts or company, nor does it prohibit him from doing so. It is preferable for him to inform her to build affection and trust between them and to close the door to Satan. We advise spouses to communicate and dialogue, and to consider each other's feelings. It is permissible for a wife to remind her husband not to excessively stay out late, especially due to the potential harms that may result from it, and the Sunnah disliked staying up late after 'Isha. There should be mutual advice between them in a good manner if one party violates the Sharia. A woman's going out for permissible recreation or leisure is permissible, and the husband should allow it in moderation.
