The question

Is the wife entitled to refuse to go to her husband's family's house every day if her husband forces her to do so, knowing that he considers her refusal to be an act of disobedience and anger towards Allah, and that the wife prefers to go every other day to be more comfortable in her home?

The answer

The husband does not have the right to compel his wife to visit his family daily, and the wife is not obliged to obey him in this matter. Obedience is due in what is right and proper, and this is not part of it. The spouses should understand each other and exercise wisdom, for frequent visits may lead to coolness, as stated in the : "Visit rarely, and you will be loved more."
