Does she have to ask her husband who is travelling for permissionto travel with her family?

My sister is married having two children. Her husband is away from his
home living in another city with his parents for one month. It means
theirhouse is closed. During this absence she lives in my house with
my parents. We have houses in more than one city. We want to go with
my family to another city where is my house until her husband returned
back his home.
My question is, while my sister is living with us if suddenly we make
a program to go another city where my house is fora short period.
Did she require informing her husband and get permission?
Kindly request you to answer me according to shari'ah.
Praise be to Allaah.
The basic principle concerning a woman is that it is not permissible
for her to leave her husband's house without his permission. That is
part of obedience to her husband that her Lord hasenjoined upon her,
and part of her care and respect towards him, and part of treating one
another honourably.
That applies except in cases of necessity; she may go out if need be.
It says in Mataalib Ooli'n-Nuha (5/271): It is haraamfor the wife to
go out without her husband's permission or unnecessarily, such as
going to buy food if there is no one who can bring itto her. End
quote.
See also the answer to question no. 106150 .
As the husband is travelling and the wife (your sister) has her two
children with her, her being with you is better and safer for her. If
you travel and she goes with you, that is better for her than staying
on her own with her children in her husband's house with no one to
keep her company.So there is nothing wrongwith her travelling with you
without her husband's permission, unless he has told her not to
travel, in which case she should ask him for permission and not go out
without his permission, except in caseof necessity.
Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
If a woman knows that her husband will allow her to go to her family
and relatives, is it permissible for her to go without his permission
in case of necessity?
He replied:
This depends on what sheknows of her husband's preference. In some
cases,the wife knows that the husband would give her permission to go
out to see her relatives in case ofnecessity, and in other cases the
wife knows thatthe husband does not want his wife to overstep the mark
with regard to what he has permitted. Soit depends on how the husband
is. But if he has told her not to go out for any need or reason other
than this specific purpose, then it is not permissible for her to go
out except for this specific purpose. End quote from Fataawa Noor 'ala
ad-Darb by Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 10/298
He was also asked:
What is the ruling on a woman who goes out without her husband's permission?
He replied:
If her husband is present it is not permissible for her to go out
except with his permission. If he is absent, she may go out solong as
he has not forbidden her to go out and said "Do not go out." If he has
told her not to go out, he has the right todo that. End quote.
Fataawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb by Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 10/298
And Allah knows best.

Story of a Jinn

The well-known scholar Khateeb has stated on theauthority of Hadhrat
Jabir bin Abdullah who stated:"Once, we were travelling with the
Prophet (SAW). The Prophet was sitting under a tree for taking rest.
All of a sudden, therecame a snake near him, took his mouth near the
hole of his ear. After sometime, the Prophet took his mouth near its
ear and said something. On that, the snake vanished in such a way as
if the earth had swallowed it. We submitted to the Prophet that we
were very much frightened when you let itreach near your ear. The
Prophet told that it was an animal and in fact, it was a jinn who had
forgotten a few verses of such and such Surah and the jinns had sent
it to inquire about the same verses. Because of your presence, he came
changing its form to that of a snake and inquired about the verses
accordingly." Source: fromthe book "The Miracles of the Prophet" by
Ahmed Saeed.

The smart thing to do

Here is another story about Sultan Mahmud of Afghanistan and his
servant, Ayyaz. Sultan Mahmud would respect Ayyaz for his wisdom even
though he was a servant. This made the ministers and other people of
high positions very jealous of Ayyaz. They talked wrong against him
and started a rumour that Ayyaz was nothing but a fool. The king came
to know of thisand he decided to prove to them who were the real
fools. An announcement was madeto all the people that the King will
distribute his belongings on a particulardate. Whatever a person touch
will become his on that day. When the day came, many people appeared
by the king's palace. The king made his announcement again thata
person can have whatever he touches. The door was opened and everyone
ran to touch whatever was of value in the palace. Some touched
jewelery of gold while others touched fancy furnitures, etc. But Ayyaz
was just standing by the king and was not touching anything.
Peoplethought that Ayyaz was crazy as he wasn't taking advantage of
this great event. Now, Ayyaz asked the king if the announcement he
made was certain. The king said"Yes, whatever you touch is yours."
Immediately, Ayyaz placed his right hand on the king's head and the
left hand on his shoulder. He then shouted, "Listen everyone.I was
waiting for this moment to aquire the most expensive thing. All of you
took whatever the king possessed, but you forgot about the owner ofall
these, which is the kinghimself. I hereby declare that my hands are on
the king, so the king is mine. You cannot remove one thing from this
palace because I am the owner of all these now." After hearing this
from Ayyaz, everyone realized that actually, Ayyaz is the only smart
one and everyone else was in error.
Today people are only running after the creations but, very few are
running towards the Creator Himself. If Allah, the King of all kings,
becomes our Friend then what else do we need?

Fighting at the age of 94

Ammar bin Yasir (RA) and his parents were subjected to the severest
afflictions after becoming Muslims. They were tormented on the
scorching sands of Mecca. The Prophet (SAW) while passing by them
would enjoin patience giving them glad tidings about paradise. Ammar's
father Yasir (RA) died after prolonged sufferings at the hands of
persecutors and his mother Sumayya (RA) was killed by Abu Jahl, who
put his spear through the most private part of her body, causing her
death. She had refused to renounce Islamin the face of terrible
torture in her old age. Theblessed lady was the first to meet
martyrdom in thecause of Islam. Ammar fought against the enemies of
Islam with great zeal and courage. Once (after the death of Prophet
Muhammad) he was fighting in a battle when he said rejoicingly:"I am
to meet my friends very soon, I am to meet Muhammad (SAW) and
hiscompanions." He then asked for water. He was offered some milk
instead. He took it and said: "I heard the Prophet (SAW) saying to me,
"Milk shall be the last drink of your worldly life." He thenfought
till he met his coveted end. He was then aged about nintey-four.

These real Muslims even continued to give service to Islam even beyond
the age of 90! May Allah also bless us with such spirits.
