The Ruling on a Husband Boycotting His Wife and Its Duration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question says: What is the ruling on a husband boycotting his wife? What should she do? And is there a specific duration?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a husband to boycott his wife unless she has given him a reason. Allah the Exalted said:
But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike themوَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
So if he sees defiance from his wife, meaning she has risen against him and withheld something of his rights, then he proceeds with these measures: admonition, then separation in the bed, then striking that is not severe, until the defiance she committed is gone. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
