JAZAKALLAH

Answer

Muhtaram

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu

If your husband is well off and he can provide you with a separate apartment where you can observe purdah from non-Mahrams, then it is necessary for your husband to make that arrangement for you. He will be answerable in the Court of Allah for the violation of the Laws of purdah if he does not make that arrangement for you.

And Allah Knows Best
