Can a Husband Stay Away From His Wife for More Than Four Months?
Question
Assalamuaikum, Mene Suna Hai bht si hadees me bayan Kiya jata hai ki shohar apni biwi se 4 mahine k liye door reh sakta hai lekin bhut si jagah ye Bhi hai ki sahaba safar par jate the to 1-2 saal k baad aate the wo time Nabi-E-karim (ﷺ) ka kya Amal tha ya koi call tha, kya shohar apni biwi se 4 mahine se Jayda door reh Sakta hai or agar reh Sakta hai to kya conditions hai agar koi job k liye ya or koi other reasons k liye apne biwi se dur rahe to kya ye Sahi hai?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
Walekumussalam,
Normal halat me (job, safar, majboori) shohar 4 mahine se zyada bhi biwi se door reh sakta hai.
Sahaba ﷺ ke daur me log mahino yaha tak ke saalon tak safar me rehte the, ye jaiz tha.
Shart ye hai:
(1) biwi ke huqooq aur kharch ka khayal rakhe.
(2) biwi ko nuqsaan ya pareshani na ho.
Agar biwi ko takleef ho aur wajah bhi na ho, to phir 4 mahine se jyada biwi se door rahna sahi nhi
IMPORTANT NOTE :
4 mahine wali jo baat aam taur par batayi jati hai, ye kisi sahih hadees ka hukm nahi hai, balki Hazrat Umar رضي الله عنه ka intizami amal tha, taki biwiyon ko nuqsaan na ho.
Agar biwi razamand ho aur use takleef na ho, to aisi judai jaiz hai.
