Hukum Isteri Meninggalkan Rumah disebabkan Ancaman/ Ruling On A Wife Leaving Her Husband's House Due to Threats

HUKUM ISTERI MENINGGALKAN RUMAH SUAMI DISEBABKAN ANCAMAN

RULING ON A WIFE LEAVING HER HUSBAND'S HOUSE DUE TO THREATS

Pada asalnya isteri tidak boleh keluar daripada rumah suaminya (Bait al-Zaujiyyah) iaitu rumah kehidupan pasangan suami isteri yang disediakan oleh suami melainkan dengan izin suami. Ini kerana suami merupakan pelindung, pembimbing dan ketua keluarga di mana isteri berada di bawah tanggungjawabnya.

In principle, a wife may not leave her husband's house (Bayt al-Zawjiyyah), namely the marital residence prepared by the husband, except with the husband's permission. This is because the husband is the protector, guide, and head of the family in which the wife is under his responsibility.

Jika isteri boleh berada di mana-mana sahaja tanpa keizinan suami tentulah peraturan rumahtangga tidak akan wujud dan pergaulan baik antara suami isteri tidak akan berlaku dalam ertikata yang sebenar.

If the wife could be anywhere without the husband's permission, certainly household regulations would not exist and good interaction between husband and wife would not occur in its true sense.

Namun begitu jika sekiranya isteri pada anggapan yang kuat, merasakan agama, diri, kehormatan, keluarga atau hartanya berada dalam keadaan bahaya yang diiktiraf oleh syarak, tidak mempunyai jalan keluar dan tidak mampu untuk ditanggung jika terus berada di rumah suami, maka isteri diharuskan keluar sekalipun tanpa keizinan suami. Ini setelah isteri benar-benar mendapati tiada langkah penyelesaian melainkan keluar meninggalkan rumah suami.

Nevertheless, if the wife, based on strong conviction, feels that her religion, self, honour, family, or property is in a state of danger recognised by sharī'ah, has no way out, and is unable to endure if she continues to remain in the husband's house, then the wife is permitted to leave even without the husband's permission. This is after the wife truly finds that there is no solution except to leave the marital home.

Begitu juga jika suami gagal menunaikan tanggungjawab menyediakan tempat tinggal yang selamat dan sesuai atau nafkah yang mencukupi, maka isteri boleh keluar rumah tanpa mendapat izin suami dan tidak dikira nusyuz sehingga suami dapat menunaikan tanggungjawabnya.

Likewise, if the husband fails to fulfil his responsibility to provide safe and suitable accommodation or sufficient maintenance (nafaqah), then the wife may leave the house without obtaining the husband's permission and is not considered nushūz (disobedient) until the husband is able to fulfil his responsibility.
