What is the ruling on a husband threatening his wife with beating or divorce if she repeatedly refuses to visit the husband's family due to the frequency of visits?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife is not obligated to visit her husband's family, but it is preferable for her to obey him in this matter unless it causes her harm. This is because it involves showing kindness to them and helping him honor his parents. The husband should consider his wife's circumstances and not burden her with what is difficult for her.
