Boycoting the wife in the case of bad temper
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The brother Abu Salih says: I hope the Shaykh will provide guidance, as this is the cause of marital disputes in our time. What is the ruling on boycotting a woman if she has a bad temperament and behavior?
The Shaykh:
Yes. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:34] The first is admonition, reminding her of Allah. So admonish them. And as for those from whom you fear nushuz (marital defiance), admonish them. Yes.
The presenter:
And boycott them.
The Shaykh:
And boycott them in their beds, meaning in their sleeping places. Do not turn toward her; turn your back to her until you realize that you are angry with her, then apologize. And boycott them in their beds, and strike them. This is the last resort, if she does not return and does not continue to obey her husband, or if she returns to obeying her husband, he strikes her with a non-harmful strike. One that does not break a bone or tear the skin, but only to the extent that it causes her pain. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, Shaykh Salih,
