Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
We will answer these questions in the following points:
Firstly, there is nothing wrong if the married couple live in the
house of relatives or strangers, provided that this does not cause any
religious violations like prohibitedmixing of men and women, or
entering upon non-Mahram women while there is no Marhram men, or
womentaking off Hijaab or exposing adornment in the presence of
non-Mahram men and the like.
Secondly, we have previously explained the order of the woman's
guardians in marriage in Fatwa 83338 , so kindly refer to it.
Thirdly, each of the spouses has his/her independent financial
liability and whoever gives up of what he/she has willingly while
he/she is healthy and hasa sound mind, then the other can benefit from
it.This includes the Mahr if the wife waived a part orall of it to her
husband. Allaah The Almighty says (what means): { And give the women
[upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up
willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction andease.
} [Quran 4:4]
Also, it was narrated that the Prophet , said: " It is not permissible
to take the property of a Muslim except with his consent... " [Ahmad]
For more benefit, kindly refer to Fataawa 162471 and 92134 , which
clarify that the wife has an independent financial liability.
Allaah Knows best.
