joint family or nuclear family?

[ahmed_indian]

:salam2:,

wht i have learnt is that in joint family, you can share the workload like cooking, rearing children and also you get ppl to talk to.

and in nuclear family, there is privacy for husband-wife and also good to maintain hijab with non-mahram.

so any idea how did sahaba (ra) managed their family? i did not get any information about it. did they live together or had separate homes?

dear sister i think you should remove your post.

Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi sounds like a *!*!*!*!e. no hadith no quran, just quotes from 'Imam jafar' (as). i have never heard of this guy/sahaba.

thanks to tti and islamqa i think getting better at this stuff. May Allah guide us all and help us differentiate between truth and falsehood.

well ahmed bro from what little knowledge i have, i can honestly say there is no nuclear family system in islam.
A separate home (i.e. separate bathroom + bedroom and preferably a kitchen), is a woman's right! Now maybe a woman is willing to give up her right, but then it's her call to make. The husband can only ask her but she has the final say and this is not even debatable as far as i know.
However, this doesn't mean that husband doesn't give the parents their rights. Depending upon the distance, he can visit his parents house everyday, the couple can stay at the parents house at the weekends, the parents can come over at their son's house for the weekend etc. A large house can be partitioned. Another floor maybe added with separate entrance. there are many possibilities.

Salaam walaikum.

What I would do if my family was around. I am raising two sons by myself. Whenever I can I go to visit my mother.
Just as prayer in congregation spreads the blessings so does living in a large Muslim household.
In reality we need so little space.
