Husband accompanying the wife in the labour room
Question
Is the husband allowed to be with the wife in the labour room when she is in labour?
Answer
It is not in keeping with respect and shame. This was not the way of the good Muslims of the past.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
