Privacy . Consent . Husband

What should I do about my grown unmarried brother-in-law entering my bedroom without permission and sleeping there when I’m not home, instead of using the guest room? My husband believes it is Wajib for us to accommodate him, but I find this unacceptable.

Bismihi ta'āla

This is definitely inappropriate, and something should have been done from the very first time.You are right, it is unacceptable, and very wrong. Your husband must stop him, and if he does not, then you must stop him, or involve your family or elders to stop this, or move out with your husband to a place where you have your privacy.

Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage) . Consummation

Is consent of the father mandatory for Mutah if she is financially independent and we do not plan to consummate?

Bismihi ta'ala

This topic has been addressed a few times in this platform, and I recommend you have a look at previous answers.

Financial independence is not enough for her to not need consent in doing mut'ah. Please refer to the details of this.

Of course, besides the shar'i side of this, one must also look at the social implications, and it is very important to observe what would be good for her and her future.

Husband . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is there an Islamic explanation as to why my husband believed he could engage in Mutah with other women without my consent, causing me significant distress?

Allah Who Created man and woman and e very thing, Knows their needs and requirements, hence He Sent the True Religion (Islam) with the most comprehensive rules covering every area in life. Rules of marriage of man and woman have details and contains conditions. Needs of man are not always similar to the Needs of woman and this is the reason of the difference in some rules for men and women. Mut’ah marriage has many conditions and it aims to save people from sins. Husband in any case is not allowed to hurt the feelings of his wife and he must treat her as he treats himself as a respected human being.

Bismihi ta'ala

Woman . Father . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Does a divorced 35-year-old independent woman, who has previously been married with her father's consent and is still a virgin, have the right to engage in Mut'ah without seeking her father's permission?

Bismihi ta'ala

As she is still a virgin, from a shar'i side, she would still need father's consent, unless she is completely socially and financially independent and free to make her own choices.

Of course, whatever the case may be, morally, it is still very important to have family involved and seek the blessings of elders and approval when it comes to marriage.

Father . Daughter . Consent . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

If the father gave the authority of spouse selection to his mature and working daughter and made it clear that he will happily accept her choice, can the girl do temporary marriage with a guy she wants without any further consent of her father?

It depends on the father's statement whether he meant giving her the full choice to marry whom ever she selects in Nikah or Mut'ah marriage.

If he was meaning permanent marriage Nikah only, then she still needs her father's permission for Mut'ah.
