  • Wife has right to live in residence separate from in-laws

    Assalaamu alaykum. I told my husband that, acording to Islam, a married woman has the right to have her own home, meaning that she gets to live alone with her husband in peace, without somebody from his family living with them and causing trouble. His response was that if that is true, then why did the Prophet's daughter, Faatimah, live with her mother-in-law.. More

  • Woman's in-laws have no right in her money

    Assalaamu alaykum. I married my husband out of my own consent. He is from a different state within India and hence from a different culture.

  • Spouses staying away from each other to keep spark alive

    Assalaamu alaykum. I read an article backed by scientific evidence on psychology that in long-term relationships like marriages, living apart most of the time keeps the spark alive for couples.

  • Spouses sleeping in separate beds

    Assalaamu alaykum. I came across these words of the Scholar Ibn Jawzi, may Allaah have mercy upon him: “The wife should have her own bed, and the husband should have his own bed.

  • Ideal amount of intimacy between spouses

    Assalaam alaykum. Is there any hint in the biography of our Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, or the writings of the Salaf (pious predecessors) on the ideal number of times per week or month that a couple should have intimacy in a way that keeps both of them satisfied and also prevents them from getting bored of each other (since too little..

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah, respected Mufti. My query is: who should pay the expenditures if one's wife is studying (like Medicine for women and child health) and she does not have a job?
