Q: My husband keeps accusing me of looking at other men and not to cause him shame in the community. He doesn’t like me going out and doesn’t trust me even though I wear full jilbaab and niqaab. I also have some knowledge of the Deen. We’ve been married for 22 years and have 7 children. He has always been jealous but it got worse in the last 3 years. I’m not interested in other men and when I tell him he doesn’t believe me.
A: Remain within the confines of your home and do not leave the home without any valid reason. Ensure that you fulfil the rights of your husband and serve him to the best of your ability. Conduct Ta’leem of the fazaail-e-amaal and fazaail-e-sadaqaat within the home daily with your family.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
