Question

My brother lives with me but my wife wants to separate him. Although he is earning good enough for his needs but I don't want this. I love my brother so much and I want that he will continue with me at the same house. Also if I separate him definitely it will not sound good for my mother. What should I do in this? Case you please guide me.

Answer

If her rights are fulfilled and her privacy is not being invaded in any way then the brother is welcomed to live in the house.

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