Question:
We return at the beginning of this episode to a message received by the program from one of our sisters in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. She is Umm al-Bara'. We presented her case in a previous episode, and in this case she says: What is the ruling on a wife who has not fulfilled the rights of her husband for six years? When there is a dispute with her husband, and when he returns from work and arrives at the house, he greets her with the salam, but she does not answer him. He asks her questions, but she does not answer him. On top of all this, she rebukes him, raises her voice at him, and screams. It is known that he is kind-hearted, compassionate, and gentle, and he treats her with good treatment in return for her bad treatment. He fulfills her rights in the best way and respects her. He provides for her and her children in the best way. He is a man who prays, fears Allah, and is in awe of Him. They have been in this state for six years, and at that time, the man seeks relief from Allah and is fifty-nine years old, while she is fifty-six years old. He is patient with this state until he meets the Face of his Noble Lord. The kinship between them is that they are children of the same maternal aunt. Since he is our relative, we want you to benefit us, may Allah reward you with good, with something that brings their two hearts closer. May Allah grant you success and reward you with the best reward.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. And to proceed: Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has made it obligatory for the wife to obey her husband in what is known, except in disobedience to Allah. And there is a severe warning for the woman who disobeys her husband in any of his rights. It has been reported that if a woman spends the night and her husband is angry with her, those in the heavens will curse her until morning, or the angels will curse her until morning. And it also came in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: If you were to do good to one of you for a lifetime, she would say, "I have never seen any good from you," or as it was reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is obligatory for the woman to fear Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and to fulfill the right of her husband and to obey him in other than disobedience to Allah. If she goes against this, then the severe warning is upon her. So this woman mentioned in the question, if what is reported about her is true and it is true that her husband treats her well, then she is committing a great sin. So she must repent to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and hasten to do so, and seek to please her husband by asking for his forgiveness before the time passes and she regrets it when regret is of no avail. Yes.

O women, give in charity, for you are the most numerous among the people of the Fire. So a woman said: Why, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Because you are the most numerous in cursing your husbands.
يا معشر النساء تصدقنا فإنكن أكثر أهل النار فقالت امرأة ولم يا رسول الله؟ قال لأنكن تكثرن الشكاةOr cursing your husbands and being ungrateful for their kindness.
أو الشكاة وتكفرن العشير
