Is the husband entitled to prevent his wife from going to her family’s home alone or with the children, and to prevent her sister from entering his home, due to his discomfort with her sister’s husband and his fear of him interacting with his wife and daughter, especially after he stayed overnight in the same house as the wife’s family?
Our advice to the wife is to obey her husband in what he commands her regarding good matters, and it is not permissible for her to allow anyone to enter her husband's house except with his permission.
Our advice to the husband is not to prevent his wife from visiting her family and her sister unless he fears corruption, and that protecting one's family from temptation is an obligation upon him. This is achieved by avoiding seclusion, the woman observing her , refraining from speaking softly, and limiting speech to what is necessary.
We emphasize that jealousy over one's family is commendable as long as it does not exceed the bounds of moderation.
