What is the ruling on a wife's maintenance (Nafaqah) if she travels without her husband's permission?

Chapter on the Condition in which Maintenance is Obligatory on the Husband

Al-Mughni

Book of Maintenance (Nafaqāt)

Book 46 · Issue 1 · Bab 2

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If a wife travels without her husband's permission, her maintenance obligation upon him is voided because she is considered disobedient (nashiz). The same ruling applies if she moves out of his home without his consent.
