Is a husband entitled to prevent his wife from visiting her family on occasions due to the presence of her sister's husband, knowing that there is a disagreement between him and her family, and that the women are in a separate area from the men?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The husband is advised to be gentle with his wife and not prevent her from meeting her family on occasions as long as there is no evil or temptation, because this causes discord and spoils the relationship. The wife should be patient and obey her husband, try to involve righteous people to reconcile between her husband and her family, and adhere to obeying her husband as long as he does not absolutely prevent her from visiting her family.
