Making a condition preventing the wife's parents from visiting her
A husband laid down a condition that his wife's mother must not enter his home nor must he enter hers. Is that husband considered guilty under Sharee‘ah for preventing that woman from visiting her daughter? Is the daughter guilty because she accepted that condition in order to have her marital contract concluded? Is the wife's family entitled to treat him in the same way and sever kinship ties with that undutiful girl? Is it permissible under Sharee‘ah to prevent her from her share in inheritance as a punishment for being undutiful to her parents? Noting that the contract was concluded first and then the husband set this as a condition for the consummation of the marriage.

Marriage in Islam is not just a bond between a husband and wife; rather it is a bond between two families or two tribes. The Quran highlighted this meaning in the verse in which Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): { Commenting on the verse, Consequently, when a husband makes a condition that his wife must not allow her parents to visit her in his home, such a condition contradicts the purposes of marriage in Islam, leads to severing kinship ties and spoils relations among people, and therefore it is prohibited under Sharee‘ah. Scholars stated that a husband is not entitled to prevent his wife's parents from visiting her. The Hanbali scholar, This means that the husband is not permitted to prevent his wife's parents, or one of them, from visiting her in his home, and the condition he made is invalid. Such a condition is not binding on the part of the wife unless he is afflicted with harm due to their visit. In the latter case, however, he is allowed to prevent them in order to ward off harm. In a Hadeeth, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “ The wife's family should not sever kinship ties with her if she did. That is because maintaining kinship ties is obligatory, and the second party's severing of kinship ties is not a justification for one to do the same thing. In a Hadeeth, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “ They are also not permitted to prevent her from her share in inheritance when one of her relatives from whom she inherits dies. Severing kinship ties does not prevent her from her right in inheritance. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): { We ask Allaah to Render the members of this family merciful to each other and maintainers of ties of kinship and to Remove rancor and conflict from among them. Allaah Knows best.
