The Wife’s Patience with Her Husband Who Is Busy with His Studies

Question:
She says that she is a married woman, praise be to Allah, and she is seventeen years old. Her husband is a student, and he is always busy with his studies or sleeping. She feels a sense of emptiness and deep sadness. She reads the Qur’an and always finishes the mushaf, but she still has a lot on her mind regarding this matter. She asks you how she should handle it? May Allah reward you with good, for the sadness and anxiety have begun to affect her. May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Sa’d.

Answer:
There is no need for sadness or anxiety as long as her husband, as she mentioned, is a student concerned with his lessons, and that he is tired and needs rest. So she must be patient. She must be patient, because this will not last. The studies will end, and she will get what she wants from her husband, if Allah wills. So she should be patient. And as long as her husband is busy with his studies, that is a good thing. Praise be to Allah that he is busy with something beneficial, and not busy with idle talk, play, or other harmful matters. Studying is honorable and beneficial. Also, her time will not last. Yes.
