Question

What is the ruling on a girl seeing her family after she is married? Is it permissible that her husband can forbid her from seeing her family and her friends? In the event that the husband has no valid reason for forbidding the wife from seeing her family.

Answer

She has a right to see her family. And there is nothing wrong in her seeing her friends if they do not have any bad habits.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
