Question
Does a husband require the permission of his wife to leave the home after Isha' Salaat? If he wants to go out with his friends, does he need to inform his wife regarding his whereabouts?
Answer
Yes, he needs to inform her and even gain her consent because the night time is her Haq according to the Shariah. It is only descent, necessary and Islamic for a husband to inform his wife when he leaves the home be it morning, afternoon or night time. It is most unbecoming of a husband and not permissible to leave without Salaam and without informing his wife. He may not simply barge out of the home. Furthermore, the time after Maghrib and Isha' belongs to the family, not to friends. It is not permissible for the husband to wile away the night time with 'friends' if there is no real, valid/urgent need. These so-called 'friends' are in reality scorpions according to Hadhrat Hasan Basri (Rahmatullah alayh). He will be violating the rights of the family (wife and children).
