Can a Mother Move Away from Others To Protect Herself From Abuse?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.

Yes, the mother can move away from them. She needs to find a space where she can protect herself from any kind of mental health issue.

The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Everything about a Muslim to inviolable with regards to other Muslims: his blood, wealth, and good name.’

[Muslim]

Every human being has a right to be safe. Whenever anyone is being abused, the abuse must be stopped. This is in keeping with the legal principle ‘Harm shall be removed.’

[Ibn Nujaim, al-Ashbah wa al-Nadhair]

Pray to Allah Most High for guidance, direction, and the removal of all your worries and to guide your children to do things that please Him by fulfilling His commands and obeying the parents, Amin.
