Question:

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله وبركاته Mufti, my question is about what role a husband has to play in this scenario. A and B are women who are having a conversation and B’s husband starts shouting at A, knowing very well she makes pardah and hasn’t done any wrong. A’s husband hears about this what should he do.

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In order for us to advise, it is important for us to understand who is B’s husband.

Is he an Aalim or a close relative of A?

Why did he shout A?

We have to analyse this according to Shariah before advising on the matter.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
