Preventing the Wife from Visiting Her Sister

Question
My husband and my sister's husband had a fight, and my husband is preventing me from going to my sister, but I want to go.
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Scholars usually mention that siblings have the right to visit once a year without the husband's permission, and this matter is subject to custom. It is wise to be patient until things calm down, so that you can resume relationships in a good manner. It is better for good people to intervene to resolve the dispute, and God knows best.
