The ruling on a woman obeying her husband in disobedience if he is hot-tempered

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner, whose name is Ayn Sadh Nun, says: My husband is actually hot-tempered, and he asks me to prepare shisha for him. He orders me to do things that are actually contrary to the Shari'ah. He tells me that this is obedience to your husband. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
This is forbidden obedience; this is obedience to Satan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق،
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696
This applies to the husband as well as anyone else, and to the father as well as anyone else. One does not obey a creation in disobedience to the Creator; obedience is only in what is right, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And if she prepares the smoke or shisha or forbidden things for him, this is cooperation in sin and aggression. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
Yes.
