Islamic Ruling & Answer

Verified

Walekumussalam,

In Islamic law, a wife has the right to a separate and respectful place to live, especially if there are conflicts in the house. However, if the husband has average financial means and cannot afford a full separate house, then it is enough to provide a separate room that is only for the wife and where no one else interferes.

On the other hand, the husband also has an important duty to take care of his sick parents, so he is not required to leave them.

The best solution is to find a mutual agreement where the wifeโ€™s comfort is ensured and the husband can still care for his parentsโ€”for example, arranging a nearby separate place or a proper private setup.

Cutting off communication without reason and being stubborn is not right from either side.
