| Answer: In no
circumstances can a husband forbid his wife to see her parents. This is her
inalienable right. Islam lays great stress on establishing strong family
relationships. A husband who stops her wife from meeting her parents is
actually stopping her from fulfilling an obligation imposed on her by the
Qur’ān, which is very specific in this regard:
Fear Allah
through whom you seek mutual help, and fear breaking blood relationships.
