Obeying the husband

· 2 Rabiʻ I 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a husband strictly prohibits his wife to use online chat platforms based on her life before marriage (she used to freely talk with non-mahrams - Alhamdulillah now she repented and practicing the proper ways now, May Allah forgive her and me). Even if she uses it to chat with her relatives he objects due to the fear that may lead to the temptation of her pre-marriage life. But he allows his wife to talk with her relatives through phone calls and by meeting directly with the proper hijaab. Is it right what the husband is doing or is he going to extremes?

Answer

She should obey her husband.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

What are a husband's rights over his wife?

“It is compulsory upon the wife to obey the husband. Hence, if the husband does not give her permission to travel for umrah with her parents and family, it will not be permissible for her to travel.”
